Solectron's Milpitas Plant Receives ISO 13485:2003 Medical Certification

  
    
  
  
    
      Adding to its global network of ISO 13485 medical certified sites, 
      Solectron Corporation (NYSE:SLR), a leading provider of electronics 
      manufacturing and integrated supply chain services, today announced its 
      Milpitas, Calif. facility has received ISO 13485:2003 medical 
      certification.
    
    
      By locating ISO 13485 sites strategically in global locations, Solectron 
      offers a variety of benefits to medical device firms, including 
      engineering and new product development near medical OEMs, 
      build-to-order and configure-to-order locations near end customers, and 
      sites with proximity to low-cost supply base and access to low-cost 
      manufacturing. This enables Solectron to develop an optimal supply chain 
      that provides high-value services including product design and 
      engineering, prototyping, full product production and aftermarket 
      services at the lowest total landed costs.
    
    
      The certification specifies requirements for a quality management system 
      that demonstrates a consistent ability to meet or exceed customer and 
      regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices. The scope of this 
      quality management system includes production, assembly and repair of 
      electronic systems and subsystems.
    
    
      “Since several leading medical device firms 
      are located in California, our Milpitas facility provides those firms 
      access to a full suite of services and unique capabilities which are in 
      close proximity to those organizations, enabling quick access and 
      collaboration,” said Misha Rozenberg, senior 
      vice president and Chief Quality Officer, Solectron. “This 
      certification reinforces Solectron’s 
      comprehensive quality management system spanning the entire supply chain 
      that enables us to meet stringent quality standards for medical devices, 
      as our customers expect.”
    
    
      “This certification reflects our ability to 
      strategically and efficiently provide flexible service while maintaining 
      quality requirements for our medical OEM customers,” 
      added Dave Busch, vice president of medical for Solectron. “Our 
      global footprint allows medical OEMs to sustain end-customer demand and 
      product requirements.”
