Ultimate Executive Goal: Sell Springtown to TDK and give them a long term contract to manufacture heads for Seagate. As for Normandale, ta-ta...
"We are incorporated in Ireland; so we have to have some presence there..."
So, they can open a sales office. Or another "repair facility". There is no requirement of having a factory.
Totally expected. Normandale may be the underdog now.
For those who said we need to have two sites as backup, Seagate has TDK (external supplier) as the backup :) By the way, TDK shut down their Japan site in favor of US site last year.
We are incorporated in Ireland; so we have to have some presence there (also needed to sell in the EU), unlike the Cayman Islands, where we where incorporated before
Im betting its transfered to Springtown.The Springtown plant have recently employed more people and as a plant its inredibly busy.Also i think Brian B will make sure its the springtown plant comes out on top.
Disaster backup. What if there was only one facility in Houston or Florida?
First question the consultants will raise is why you have two sites, Normandale and Springtown doing head development, let alone production. Problem will quickly be solved by cutting and transferring the work to one site. Which one do you think it'll be?
What?
