I am a firm believer in the EMS industry and Sanmina-SCI, and believe the company is well positioned for the future.” Mr. Furr continued, “The decision to leave the company at this time was a difficult one to make, but due to my personal circumstances, it is more important for me to focus my attention on my family.”
