Foxconn’s decision to sell its Ohio factory to SoftBank means California startup Monarch Tractor will no longer have electric tractors built by the Taiwanese tech giant. CEO Praveen Penmetsa confirmed the news on LinkedIn, assuring customers that Monarch has enough inventory to meet demand for the next 12 months.

New Manufacturing Partnerships

Penmetsa also hinted at plans to introduce more Monarch-enabled products through new manufacturing partnerships in the near future. With SoftBank taking over the factory, the focus will shift to producing equipment for the Stargate AI project led by OpenAI and Oracle.

Foxconn’s Electric Vehicle Hub

Initially touted as a key hub for electric vehicle manufacturing and R&D in North America, the former General Motors factory faced setbacks as Monarch, one of Foxconn’s promoted customers, struggled to stay afloat. Despite building tractors for the startup, Foxconn’s other potential clients have filed for bankruptcy, leaving the future of the factory uncertain.
