Flextronics International has quietly been going about its business of design, testing and manufacturing for just over a year since Nortel Networks handed off a number of manufacturing operations around the world, including about 100 local employees.

To celebrate the annual milestone, the company is staging a Grand Opening Wednesday. The 100 Ottawa staff who switched over to Flextronics from Nortel have found a new home in the design business's telecom infrastructure group, which focuses on the major telecom equipment suppliers, including Nortel, Lucent and Ericsson.
