MEUNG-SUR-LOIRE, FRANCE — French EMS provider All Circuits is looking for room to grow its operations by purchasing a new plant in France or elsewhere in Europe.

The company opened a 6,000 sq. meter expansion at its production facility in Meung-sur-Loire, in southern France, earlier this year, and that expansion is already at full capacity, All Circuits President Bruno Racault told Evertiq.

"All of the new wing that we added this year is fully booked already, so I'm looking to purchase a new plant now," he said.

Racault said he would prefer the new plant be located in France if possible, or at least somewhere in Europe to supply the local market, and the new facility would have a turnover of around EUR 100-200 million (US $103-206 million).

"The business is there and it's really booming," he said.

All Circuits also needs a new facility in China, not for the European market but to serve the local market in that area, and that would be in two or three years, Racault said.
