Pemstar To Downsize, Shed Up to 150,000 SF

ROCHESTER, MN-Weakening sales lead the electronics manufacturing firm to make $5 million in cuts, which could mean up to 100 workers laid off in the US. The move will affect plants in the Midwest and one in San Jose.

ROCHESTER, MN-Pemstar, an electronics manufacturing services company, plans to shed up to 150,000 sf in manufacturing space in the next six months as part of a restructuring program to eliminate about $5 million in annual costs. Pemstar’s three Midwest sites will be integrated into one virtual operational entity with shared general management and support services, the company says.

Management wouldn’t spell out how the restructuring would affect Minnesota except to say that the consolidation includes integrating Pemstar sites in Rochester, MN; Chaska, MN; and Duneith, ND. Pemstar has 359,000 sf in offices and manufacturing facilities in Rochester and a 100,000 sf plant in Duneith. The company also will reduce its 141,000 sf San Jose, CA development and manufacturing operations.
