Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 recall is set to cost the company over $1 billion dollars, not
to mention untold amounts in lost future sales and damage to its reputation.
Surely, the firm will be on a warpath for the supplier who makes those faulty, prone to
explosion battery units? Well perhaps it would if the batteries weren’t made by a
Samsung subsidiary called Samsung SDI.
Reports on Friday reveal Samsung has been forced to turn to a third-party in order to
make up for the shortcoming of non-exploding batteries.
According to a report from IBTimes, Samsung has dramatically upped its orders from
China’s ATL to provide batteries for the Note 7.
"A high-ranking Samsung official last week asked ATL to increase the monthly supply
to 4 million battery cells and we have decided to do so," said an ATL executive.
