MILPITAS, Calif. — Solectron Corp. announces that the company has expanded its enclosures and sheet-metal facility in Milpitas, Calif. This expansion is part of the company's strategy to offer systems-integration solutions and commit to interacting and collaborating with customers in the most critical development stages, improving their time-to-market capabilities.
To further emphasize the importance of this new facility and its capabilities, Solectron has appointed two executives who will be responsible for managing and leading these operations—Tony Princiotta as vice president, enclosures systems business; and Hossein Saadat, vice president of operations, enclosures. Princiotta will be responsible for driving the overall growth of the enclosures business, ensuring its commercial viability, while seeking strategic opportunities for expansion. Saadat will be responsible for managing the existing enclosures sites, including Hillsboro, Ore.; Laval, Quebec; Milpitas, Calif.; Shanghai, China; Singapore; and South Ockendon, U.K.
"This expansion and appointment of the new managers will ensure that enclosures and sheet metal operations are managed consistently, leveraging new opportunities across all sites," says Dave Purvis, Solectron executive vice president, design and engineering. "We are prepared for high growth in this area, working closely with our local and global customers, to ensure they receive the best support."
"Our supplier's new product introduction capabilities, coupled with local support, are extremely important for product development and time-to-market," says Saeed Seyed, Cisco Systems' hardware engineering manager. "We welcome and expect the success of Solectron's enclosures and sheet metal center in Milpitas as an important step for better product development and key for conducting business. This is important to us for fast prototype turnaround and smooth transition to production. We are counting on this facility's success."
