Startronics’ new CEO Paul Appleby said Sanmina’s Australian operations complemented the Startronics business and would enhance services for clients of the electronic manufacturing and repairs business. “The merger of Startronics with Sanmina’s Australian operations will allow us to take advantage of economies of scale and benefit from the global network Sanmina brings,” said Appleby.
“We are growing our presence with operations in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Wellington and we will also have opportunities to facilitate high-volume, low-cost manufacturing through Sanmina’s Asian facilities where appropriate”, he added.
