BURLINGTON, VT – The world's largest 50 EMS providers grew an average 16.7% in 2007, according to a new study. The top 50's sales totaled $141.3 billion, a new high, says John Tuck of Manufacturing Market Insider.
It marked the fourth straight year the top 50 suppliers' composite sales grew in excess of 15%.
"The Top 50 accounted for about 80% of EMS industry revenue last year. As such, the Top 50 can be used as a proxy for the industry," said Tuck. The 10 largest EMS companies were Hon Hai, Flextronics, Jabil Circuit, Sanmina-SCI, Celestica, Elcoteq, Kinpo Electronics/Cal-Comp Electronics, Benchmark Electronics, Venture and USI (Universal Scientific Industrial).
A top-10 ranking required $1.98 billion in revenue. To make the Top 50, providers needed a minimum of $229 million in sales, up $16 million from the year before. |
