DAYTON, OH -- NCR Corp. will outsource its ATM, payment solutions and self-checkout systems to
Solectron Corp.
The companies did not disclose the estimated value of the five-year contract.
The deal covers NCR's ATMs and payment solutions in the Americas and its self-checkout systems globally. NCR will transfer its Americas manufacturing to Solectron's sites in Columbia, SC; Guadalajara, Mexico; and Jaguariuna, Brazil by the end of 2007.
"Expanding our relationship with Solectron supports our ability to
remain competitive, build a sustainable cost structure, and better
serve our customers' needs by freeing up capital to invest in new
product innovation," said Bruce Langos, NCR senior vice president of global operations. "We believe this strategy will play a key role in
helping us improve our longer-term operating margin."
Solectron has been producing and assembling Teradata data
warehouse servers and providing systems integration for NCR's
Teradata Division for seven years.
