ROY, Utah (Dow Jones)--As part of its strategy to expand production
capabilities world-wide, Iomega Corp. (IOMG) entered into an agreement to
buy a hard-drive manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia from Quantum
Corp. (QNTM).
The plant will serve as an additional manufacturing site for Iomega's Jaz
drives and disks initially, with the intent to eventually broaden production
to other Iomega products, the company said in a press release.
The facility has the capital equipment and manufacturing infrastructure in
place for the production of Iomega Jaz drives and disks. The addition of
this high-volume facility is designed to increase Iomega's manufacturing
efficiencies and contribute to the company's strategy to drive product costs
down, Iomega said.
The Malaysian site is a 376,000 square-foot facility that includes a 36,000
square-foot clean room. Iomega Jaz drive and disk production in Penang is
expected to begin in the third quarter of 1996.
Iomega Corp. provides personal computer storage solutions.
