Return to index of stories... 		-- About 265 workers are losing their jobs in Hudson
and Derry as Sanmina Corporation closes three of
its operations.
The company told employees yesterday it is closing its two
circuit board operations in Hudson and one of the two in Derry.
The announcement comes five weeks after the technology firm
announced it was closing its Nashua plant and laying off 230
workers.
On Wednesday the company sharply cut its quarterly estimates.
Sanmina stock has plummeted from a high less than a year ago of
more than 60 dollars per share down to under 15 dollars.
Last March, Sanmina laid off about 250 workers in Derry, Hudson,
Manchester and Salem as well as another 100 at its Massachusetts
plants.
