Description

Tatabánya-based Artesyn Hungary Electronics is a manufacturer of power supplies for hardware and telecommunications equipment producers. The company was established in 2001 by Artesyn Technologies Inc. Artesyn announced that it will be closing the Tatabanya, Hungary manufacturing facility, and intends to award its European manufacturing services work to Celestica Inc., a global electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider. Most of the products currently being manufactured in Hungary will be transferred to Celestica's Romanian factory in Oradea. This transition is expected to be completed by the end of 2005. Savings in 2006 from this closure are estimated to be $6.0 million.
