For more than 35 years, Jabil has been committed to a disciplined, managed growth strategy focused on growing profitably. Then and now, managing growth is as important as growth itself.

Jabil maintains this philosophy, growing primarily organically and bolstering that growth with acquisitions that will provide strategic, long-term advantages. Jabil uses acquisitions to develop new markets, new services and new sectors and then builds upon the experience derived to broaden organic growth.

During the last few years, Jabil has used strategic acquisitions to refine and enhance its manufacturing base to focus on cost-effective locations in the various consuming regions of the world. This has been particularly true in Asia. From a single manufacturing plant in Penang in 1995, Jabil has become a significant force in this important region. We now have multiple design and manufacturing sites in China in addition to operations in India, Singapore and Japan. Domestic growth opportunities in these regions are expanding. For the benefit of all of our customers we continue to refine our Asian supply chain partners. These thoughtful regional expansions and enhanced services allow Jabil to offer a comprehensive set of diversified global services to both domestic companies in Asia, as well as existing customers with manufacturing needs in Asia.

Strategic acquisitions and greenfield expansion of our sites in Eastern Europe have expanded our ability to provide low-cost design and manufacturing for European customers as well as customers from outside the region. In the Americas, our capabilities in the USA, Mexico and Brazil have expanded and improved from design through after-market support. Today, most customers make use of multiple services for products which are built and serviced in multiple geographies.

We will continue our disciplined strategy of diversity in customers, sectors, segments and geographies, coupled with excellence in execution, in order to deliver consistent financial performance, and to capitalize on the growth opportunities ahead.
