NAMPA, ID – MPC will lay off 5% of its nationwide workforce, including 55 jobs in North Sioux City, and here at the company's headquarters, and transfer manufacturing in Nashville to Flextronics in Juarez, Mexico, according to published reports. Most of the jobs are in IT and sales, KTIV reported. MPC acquired certain elements of Gateway's computer business last year and is one of the 10 largest PC manufacturers. However, the company is struggling to avoid bankruptcy, according to recent company notices. The company did not disclose the value or length of the programs sent to Flextronics.
