SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanmina-SCI
Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM), a leading global Electronics
Manufacturing Services (EMS) company, today announced its India
Design Center is providing significant advantages to Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers in the multimedia,
communications, renewable energies and medical markets. A
full-service engineering operation for hardware and embedded
software outsourcing, the Design Center offers design and
manufacturing services as one supplier, while delivering strategic
benefits that include a more efficient product life cycle from
concept through to production, wider global supply chain reach and
considerable reduction in manufacturing costs.
The Sanmina-SCI India Design Center is located in the Madras
Special Economic Zone (MEPZ) near Chennai. Currently, the Design Center is
providing domain expertise in the design and manufacture of
medical, networking and communications, optics, defense and
aerospace, LED lighting and smart infrastructure technologies.
According to ELCINA Electronic Industries Association of
India (www.elcina.com), the market
for electronic products in India
is projected to reach $150 billion
U.S. by the year 2015, at a growth rate of 30% per annum. These
skyrocketing figures have necessitated that Indian companies who
have traditionally done manufacturing in-house, as well as global
OEMs who typically use manufacturing facilities in other countries,
create strategic partnerships with a manufacturer in India who can meet and exceed expectations on
a variety of deliverables.

strategic benefits that are unparalleled for OEMs who need
end-to-end design and manufacturing capabilities, DFx requirements
in early design phases, the ability to meet rigid environmental
guidelines and a highly developed global supply chain," said
Naresh Nigam, Chief Technology
Officer at Sanmina-SCI. "Our unique success in India has been a direct result of our ability
to meet our customers needs in every one of these areas, while also
providing substantial cost savings at every level of the
manufacturing process."

India," stated Srinivas Moorthy, Vice President of Engineering
at the Sanmina-SCI India Design Center in Chennai. "Providing strong testing and test
engineering resources in-house allows for a more efficient
