History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
We are one of the leading worldwide independent providers of electronic manufacturing services ("EMS"). We design and manufacture electronic circuit board assemblies and systems for major original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the automotive, computing and storage, consumer products, instrumentation and medical, networking, peripherals and telecommunications industries. We serve our customers with dedicated work cell business units that combine high volume, highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. Our largest customers currently include Alcatel Business Systems ("Alcatel"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco"), Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP"), Johnson Controls, Inc., Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Lucent"), Marconi Communications plc ("Marconi"), Nokia Corporation, Quantum Corporation ("Quantum"), Royal Philips Electronics ("Philips") and Valeo S.A. ("Valeo"). For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we had net revenues of approximately $4.7 billion and net income of $43.0 million. The EMS industry experienced rapid change and growth over most of the past decade as an increasing number of OEMs outsourced their manufacturing requirements. In mid-2001, the industry's revenue declined as a result of significant cut backs in its customers' production requirements, which was consistent with the overall global economic downturn. Nonetheless, OEMs have continued to turn to outsourcing in order to reduce product cost; achieve accelerated time-to-market and time-to-volume production; access advanced design and manufacturing technologies; improve inventory management and purchasing power; and reduce their capital investment in manufacturing resources. Industry revenues have slowly begun to increase again over the last year as customer production requirements generally began to stabilize. We believe further growth opportunities exist for EMS providers to penetrate the worldwide electronics markets. We offer our customers significant turnkey EMS solutions that are responsive to their outsourcing needs. Our work cell business units are capable of providing our customers with varying combinations of the following services: • integrated design and engineering; • component selection, sourcing and procurement; • automated assembly; • design and implementation of product testing; • parallel global production; • systems assembly and direct order fulfillment; and • repair and warranty. We currently conduct our operations in facilities that are located in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, England, France, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Scotland, Singapore and the United States. Our parallel global production strategy provides our customers with the benefits of improved supply-chain management, reduced inventory obsolescence, lowered transportation costs and reduced product fulfillment time.
