Effective today, all current employees will transfer to EPIC. The two plants, located in
Johnson City, TN, and South Lebanon, OH, employ a combined 500 workers.
Siemens purchased the Johnson City facility in 1991 from
Texas Instruments, and acquired the South
Lebanon operations from Eaton Corp. in
2000.
"We are highly committed to maintaining the level of quality and customer service that EMC established under the Siemens brand and look forward to bringing a high level of lean manufacturing efficiency and EMS industry expertise to these operations," said John Sammut, president and CEO of EPIC, in a press release.
