ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Jabil Circuit Inc. has begun construction of a greenfield electronics manufacturing facility in Zarkappatya, Uzhgorod. The new factory is expected to create 1,500 jobs.
“We believe the Ukraine will become a major player in electronics manufacturing," said John Lovato, Jabil’s European president. "The country has all it takes to successfully compete with Asia on a landed cost basis to the European market; educated and available labor force at a competitive cost, proximity to the European market, available natural resources to develop a strong supplier base and cooperative government support."
The 26,000-m² facility will be operational next Spring. Jabil plans to develop in the Special Economic Zone Zarkappatya, an industrial park.
Jabil has manufactured electronics in Ukraine since 2004 and was one of the first EMS providers to establish a presence in the country. The company employs 900 at its facility in Uzhgorod.
