With Plant Closings, Multek Says Turnaround Imminent

摘要

With the closing of Multek factories in Boeblingen, Germany, and Sao Paulo, Brazil, the PCB maker hopes its profitability struggles are nearing an end. The Boeblingen site employed 450 workers and was one of the older yet more respected fabrication shops in Europe, having once been run by HP. The Brazil site, at 96,000 sq. ft., was said to be the largest in South America. It was opened in 1974. Following the shutdowns, Multek will have one site (Sheldahl) in the US and one in China.
