SAN FRANCISCO - Fabrinet,
an engineering and electromechanical manufacturing services company, will
purchase the manufacturing facilities located in Fuzhou, China,
from JDS Uniphase.
The deal is expected to be completed by June 30. Terms were not revealed.
Last week, JDS said it would transfer its Ewing and Mountain Lakes, NJ,
manufacturing facilities to Fabrinet. JDS has contracted assembly work to
Fabrinet since 2000.
The Fuzhou deal includes the 225,000 sq. ft. Fuzhou
plant, which makes optical components, and its 500 employees. Fuzhou port
sits at the mouth of the Minjiang River in South China.
Last December, Fabrinet acquired JDS Uniphase's manufacturing facilities in Singapore and Bintan, Indonesia.
