The added operations are intended to allow the Company’s Film & Electrolytic Business Group to better support demand for standard film capacitor products in the Americas region through improved logistical responsiveness. In addition, the Company expects to realize lowered manufacturing costs through manufacturing in Monterrey, in which it will share the Guadalupe campus with the Company’s Ceramic Business Group, allowing for certain manufacturing synergies and the sharing of infrastructure costs.
