SAN JOSE, Calif. – December 18, 2018 – Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM), a leading integrated manufacturing solutions company that makes some of the world’s most complex and innovative electronic, optical and mechanical products, today announced that it has been granted Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) status at its manufacturing facility in the Hi-TechSEZ (Special Economic Zone) in Oragadam, Chennai, India. This enables Sanmina to support the Make in India initiative, an effort driven by the Government of India to encourage the manufacturing of more products in India.

Sanmina also operates a product design center in Chennai with an ISO13485 medical design registration, enabling Sanmina to design medical instruments for its customers, close to its manufacturing facility.

“DTA statusmakes our world-class manufacturing and technology solutions more attractive toboth domestic and global customers with a presence in India,” said ElanChelian, Managing Director and VP of Sanmina’s Chennai facility.

“India has been a strategic location for Sanmina for ten years,” said Mike Landy, EVP and COO of Integrated Manufacturing Solutions, Asia and Europe at Sanmina. “DTA status better positions Sanmina to support the “Make in India” initiative, and enables us to offer Sanmina’s end to end solutions to a wider range of customers.”
