Hungary sees Jabil as strategic partner

The government has reportedly authorised economy ministry state secretary Zoltan Csefalvay to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the local unit of US-based Jabil Circuit Inc. Jabil Circuit Hungary operates three units - in Tiszaujvaros, Szombathely and Pecs - employing roughly 7'500 people in the country. Jabil is not the first company to make it onto Hungary's strategic partner list. The EMS-provider joins the ranks of such illustrious companies as IBM, Microsoft, Suzuki or Genreal Electric.
