The Board of Directors of Scanfil EMS Oy, a subsidiary of Scanfil plc, has decided to sell the entire share capital of its subsidiary Scanfil (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. located in Hangzhou, China, for a selling price of EUR 18.4 million to Hangzhou Cabinet Technology Co., Ltd. According to the agreement signed by the parties, the closing of the transaction is subject to certain usual pre-conditions, which are expected to be met during the next few weeks.

The number of employees at the factory on 31 March 2020 was approximately 400. Scanfil will concentrate its Chinese operations on its factory in Suzhou, focusing on electronics manufacturing and demanding integration. Scanfil will continue to use the mechanics services of the Hangzhou plant also in the future.
Hangzhou Cabinet Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese mechanics manufacturer that will expand its operations and continue production at the Hangzhou plant. The entire personnel of the plant will continue to work for the sold Hangzhou company after the closing of the transaction.
As a result of the transaction, Scanfil updates its 2020 outlook and estimates that after the transaction, its turnover for 2020 will be EUR 580 – 620 million and adjusted operating profit EUR 38 – 42 million.
