Sun is closing its Newark, California manufacturing plant by the end of June 2004.
“By the end of June 2004, we will cease manufacturing at our Newark California plant and will transfer production activities to the Hillsboro, Oregon and Linlithgow, Scotland sites. This will result in the elimination of the positions of approximately 300 employees currently supporting the manufacture of the Sun Fire and Sun Enterprise servers, the Sun StorEdge product line, and Newark’s Sun Configuration Center for Customer Ready Solutions.”
