Sanmina is committed to serving companies leading the energy revolution in the solar, wind, fuel cell, battery systems and clean tech industries. We understand these companies are working tirelessly to lower energy costs and reduce the impact on our natural environment. Together, we can advance a highly efficient alternative energy supply chain that maximizes the use of cleanly produced power by increasing the ways we harness energy from the sun, wind, fuel cell and other innovative technologies and making them more effective.

Our goal at Sanmina is to become the manufacturing partner of choice for clean technology companies as the industry continues to move forward and positively change the world we live in.

Vision and Accomplishment.
Sanmina makes some of the most complex and valuable electronic and mechanical products in the world.

Sanmina has a 30-year operating history that is bringing substantial engineering, manufacturing, supply chain management and logistics capabilities to the clean technology market. We leverage the traditional EMS services for clean technology customers in areas related to power electronics, power management, smart meters and energy storage. Recently, we were involved in manufacturing components such as combiners, controllers and inverters, which are offered as an integral part of the renewable energy solution by many customers.

Beyond traditional EMS, we have an extensive range of electro-mechanical design and complex system manufacturing capabilities. These capabilities are an excellent fit across all of the clean technology segment products, which include solar, wind, fuel cells, battery systems, LED lighting and smart meters.

Highly Complex Solutions.
Our suite of service offerings for the clean technology industry encompasses:

• Manufacturing facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world with major operations in 18 countries on four continents
• Operations located in close proximity to renewable energy "hot spots," such as the Western and Southwestern United States, Brazil, Germany, Israel, China and India
• Process technology expertise in manual and highly automated assembly environments to increase yields, decrease scrap, improve throughput and achieve consistent levels of high quality and reliability
• Vertically integrated system solutions which include in-house engineering and manufacturing facilities for printed circuit boards (PCBs), sheet metal enclosures, plastics, die casting, cable harnesses, plus precision machining of small and large form factors
• Advanced technology services and extensive design and engineering resources experienced in electro-mechanical component and system designs to support “balance of system” (BOS) and power electronics engineering requirements
• Global supply chain and procurement leverage of a multi-billion dollar materials purchasing organization

Our strategic differentiators include expertise in:

• Design and engineering of electro-mechanical systems
• PCB fabrication (high density, multilayers, flex and rigid flex)
• Cable assembly (connectorization and harnesses)
• Enclosure systems (sheet metal, plastic injection molding, die casting)
• Precision machining of small and large form factors in a range of metals and alloys
• Electronics assembly and test
• System integration and test
• Memory modules
• Optical technology solutions

We offer industry-proven manufacturing, supply chain management, logistics and engineering solutions, having helped thousands of companies increase their competitive position in a diverse set of technology-driven end markets. We believe our manufacturing experience and expertise will prove critical for clean technology companies in their quest to achieve operational efficiencies on a global scale while lowering landed costs.
