FOUNTAIN, CO — Sanmina-SCI will close its electronics assembly plant here by year end, cutting a reported 319 jobs.
A Sanmina-SCI spokesman on Friday confirmed to Circuits Assembly that the plant would be closing. He declined to comment on the number of workers that would be affected.
However, the local Colorado Springs Gazette reported the firm revealed its plans in a letter to the town mayor, sent in accordance with federal rules governing job cuts. The cuts would begin Nov. 10, the paper reported.
At its peak, the 250,000 sq. ft. plant employed 1,000 workers, the paper said.
The company has slowly been reducing its head count in North America this summer. In late August, Sanmina-SCI reportedly laid off more than 100 workers at its Rapid City, SD, plant.
