The new facility will include a design center and extended manufacturing capabilities in the Wuzhong Export Processing Zone, according to the company.

The design center will be completed by the end of this year, according to Flextronics. The company expects the manufacturing facility to be completed by the end of 2010.

“We are pleased to announce this expansion and believe that Wuzhong is an excellent location based on its world-class infrastructure, supply chain ecosystem and close proximity to Suzhou’s Higher Education Center, which has a reputation for excellent education programs and highly skilled talent,” Flextronics Computing President Sean Burke said.
