An estimated 5,000 jobs are on the way to the southern India city of Tiruchirappalli, located in the state of Tamil Nadu, thanks to a fresh $241 million electronic components manufacturing facility investment from Jabil. The company has said the plant will produce parts for a number of customers including Apple, Nokia and HP. Jabil’s project builds upon the region’s industry success, which provided a strategic pull for the company to expand its global portfolio. “India is emerging as a key manufacturing hub,” said Jabil Global Business Units Executive Vice President Matt Crowley. “Our expansion in India will enable Jabil to meet and grow with the future needs of our customers and complement our existing facility in Pune, Maharashtra, in operation since 2003.”
