>>I wonder if they DO relocate, how the street will view this. << I really don't know for sure about the move itself (it could prove to be beneficial, a mistake, or not matter much one way or the other), but what I find more interesting in the article is that Iomega is still having inventory problems. This should be a very worrisome sign to Iomega Bulls. It may be that Iomega is preparing for survival with lower unit shipping volumes. That is to say, they are preparing for unit sales declines.

Curious to why Iomega would be considering bringing back production from an already under-utilized facility in Malaysia. With component proximity, lower wages, and if I recall, a sweetheart deal from Malay government in regard to taxation, it would be a curious move indeed.
