SAN JOSE – Top tier EMS provider Sanmina-SCI plans to close an electronics factory in Tourlaville, France, in the Normandy region, by March, and lay off more than 300 workers, according to a published report.
 
The plant was acquired from Alcatel in 2002 and is the firm’s last manufacturing site in France, after closing Grenoble, Isle d'Abeau and Chateaudun sites, Agence France Presse reported.
 
Sanmina has been slowly consolidating capacity around the globe. Last February it announced the impending close of a factory in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. An assembly plant Fountain, CO, will close by year-end.
