Jabil to Cut 380 Jobs at UK Plant

Jabil Circuit Inc. is planning to cut approximately 380 jobs at its Coventry, England, manufacturing plant, according a spokeswoman at the St. Petersburg, Fla. EMS company.

The site, which was formerly owned by British telecom gear maker Marconi plc, provides printed-circuit board assembly, system assembly and repair and warranty services for networking and telecom equipment.

Jabil closed its Liverpool, England, plant -- another former Marconi site -- last year in response to weak demand for telecom products.
