GUADALAJARA, MEXICO – Jabil Circuit has reportedly opened its second production plant here, according to local reports. However, despite the report, by the Guadalajara Reporter, the company has not made public statements about any expansions. In fact, last week, on a conference call with analysts following the close of its fiscal 2009 first quarter, Jabil did not mention the new plant. In response to a question about “near-shoring,” or the practice of outsourcing product build to nearby geographies, Jabil CEO Tim Main said, “We have two last mass production sites in Mexico, one in Guadalajara and one in Chihuahua. We have I think the world's largest aftermarket services operation in Reynosa. So we're pretty mature there.” Calls to Jabil for comment have not yet been returned.
