TORONTO - Nortel Networks Corp. today said its manufacturing plant in Monkstown, Northern Ireland,  would  no longer be included in the sale of several of its factories to Flextronics. Instead, Nortel, will use the plant as its regional supply-chain center for operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The move saves Flextronics about $100 million, Reuters news service reported. Flextronics will now pay between $575 million to $625 million for the Nortel plants, according to Reuters.

The Flextronics-Nortel deal was announced in June 2004. Last month, Nortel transferred its manufacturing operations in Chateaudun, France, and operations in Calgary and Campinas, Brazil, are scheduled to be turned over by the end of March 2006.
