Dell's Factory Sales: End of an Era

Hon Hai / Flexconn are building a global size mega plant at Bac Ninh mega site (40km north of Hanoi) in Vietnam to rival the current Longhua plant in in Shenzhen. They also have plans for more Chinese plants in Wuhan (central China) and Huaian (430km from Shanghai), whch are also expected to be larger than the Longhua facilities (based on land area).

The US Jabil Corporation (US) who manufacture circuit boards for Cisco Systems Inc, Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM, Marconi Communication plc, Network Appliance, NEC Corporation, Nokia Corporation, Quantum Corporation, Royal Philips Electronics and Valeo S.A., and Intel are both developing major plants in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park .

There will be little enthusiasm for Dell's 2nd hand plants.
