Wintek Corp., a supplier of displays to Apple Inc., may pay more money to workers in China poisoned by chemicals while making touch-screen panels, Chief Financial Officer Jay Huang said. The stock fell the most in two months.
“If they feel they need more compensation to be satisfied, then we’re willing to discuss it case by case,” Huang said in a phone interview today. The Taichung, Taiwan-based company has already paid about 10 million yuan ($1.5 million) to 91 workers poisoned after dealing with the chemical N-hexane, he said.
