Anglo-Swedish EMS marriage is annulled

Jaltek has terminated its strategic alliance agreement with Swedish EMS provider Note.

Just one year after signing a very successful strategic alliance agreement with Swedish EMS provider Note, Steve Pittom, Jaltek Group Sales Director, has announced that the agreement has been annulled due to a significant strategic change of direction by Note.

Jaltek Group is now seeking a stronger relationship with an established Eastern European EMS provider to continue the established European manufacturing model.

Pittom said: "Our first year in partnership with Note has been hugely successful, establishing significant new business valued at over GBP 10 million for volume manufacture in Eastern Europe".

"We have proved the European manufacturing model with a number of new and existing customers and had hoped to continue in partnership with Note, however significant management changes at Note have resulted in a re-alignment of their strategy which, sadly, is at odds with our own".

Pittom added: "We're now actively seeking a more formal partnership with a European EMS provider who is looking for a UK based partner to provide local prototype and NPI services with the ability to move to volume in Eastern Europe".
