Motorola Partners with Flextronics in Hungary
Budapest, 16 December 1999 - Today Motorola announced the awarding of a major contract for the manufacturing of GSM phones in Hungary to Flextronics International.
The contract will mean an investment for Flextronics of 40-50 mn USD and will create an additional 1200-1400 new jobs in the high tech sector, at their industrial park in Zalaegerszeg.
During 1999 Flextronics has increased the number of its employees by 3000 to 7000 at its locations in S?rv?r, Tab, Zalaegerszeg. These new jobs will create further opportunities for people who have the skills and ambitions to succeed in the high growth contract manufacturing sector for a world class customer.
"The growth of the telecom market today in some ways requires the same attributes as that of contract manufacturing - Speed and Flexibility to adapt and add value for customers. It is an exciting challenge for both our companies" - said Roger Moore, Executive Director of Flextronics Central & Eastern Europe.
Flextronics recently announced a new Industrial Park location and the starting investment of 25 mn USD in Ny?regyh?za, for the continued expansion of its Hungarian manufacturing capacity. We need to continue to build upon the success of our world class Hungarian employees and world class customers"
