“Teradyne to exit PCB Business”
According to Forbes, Terradyne plans to increase its outsourcing to EMS-providers Solectron and Celestica.
Pricing pressures will push the company out of the PCB-business which could provide a windfall for Sanmina-SCI, a strong backplane competitor, according to Credit Suisse First Boston. Competition from Asian producers building a higher technology PCB is brutal, Terradyne indicates. Teradyne plans to nearly double its outsourcing of its semiconductor and board testing businesses.
