Jeff,

Perhaps you can tell us your position at Sanmina?

I do not believe I have written anything that is "way off base".  I
certainly think it is judicious to approach a potential supplier with
caution when that supplier is not known for a certain type of work or
product.  If John Deere started making a luxury car, I'd be cautious about
their capabilities.

You are correct, I have not visited the new Sanmina Facility in Costa Mesa.
Perhaps you can tell us if it is a new facility built from the ground up or
a purchase of an existing facility, and if existing, whose facility was it?
The only facility I could think of that fit the description Earl mentioned
was Litronic.  Please do correct me if this is wrong.

Perhaps Sanmina can benefit from the discussion taking place here.  There
are obviously not a few folks who have had less than successful business
relations with Sanmina.  A customer satisfaction driven company might take
such a discussion to heart.

Best Regards,
Jana Carraway

Jana:
I received your email about The Sanmina's HDI facility and you are way
off base.
It sounds to me like you haven't visited the new Sanmina Facility in
Costa Mesa. Our engineering staff is second to none and as progressive
as I have ever seen. Most of the equipment is new and designed for HDI
type product. We are experiencing better than expected yields held to
the highest quality standards. were building eight layer flex with 3 mil
laser microvias on top of 2 mil lines and spaces. This product is
difficult, but I know it won't be long before we are at or above 90%
test yields.

Sanmina is a big company and we are just a small part of it. But our
customers know we give the highest and most consistent quality in the
business.

Sincerely
Jeff Nielsen
