Within the top 10, there are two foreign-owned groups—both of which have acquired German companies. Neways International, with headquarters in Son, the Netherlands, significantly expanded its existing manufacturing operations in the country following the acquisition of BuS Holding GmbH in 2014, while the French company Asteelflash established a presence in the country following the acquisition of EN ElectronicNetwork in 2012.
Of the global Tier 1 EMS providers, Sanmina and Jabil Circuit have operations in Germany, although it is reported that Jabil, which focused on optoelectronics, has ended small series production at the site and will focus on development only. Flex, the world's second largest EMS provider, sold its EMS site in Paderborn in 2014 and has also transferred production at Flextronics Automotive GmbH & Co KG to a site in Hungary and is focusing on R&D and prototyping at the site.
