By automating board construction, they could produce more reliable boards, faster and more cost effectively than their customers could on their own.&nbsp;<br><br>A decade later, the company became a contract manufacturer that customers relied upon for outsourcing not just their circuit boards, but for other components and assemblies for their products as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>The proposition remained the same \u2013 volume production with consistent quality at lower costs than customers could achieve themselves.&nbsp;<br><br>The company expanded its services to include the purchase of materials and parts for manufacturing, as well as using computer-aided design to create and optimize the circuit board for each product.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expanding-across-the-value-chain-and-the-world\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Expanding across the value chain \u2013 and the world&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1981, Flextronics became one of the first US service manufacturers to go offshore by setting up a manufacturing facility in Singapore. It brought with it a common set of employment standards, gaining recognition with employees drawn to the integrity of these practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>The company realized extraordinary growth when it introduced vertical integration to optimize the supply chain, and aggressive global expansion by creating industrial parks where suppliers could re-locate to be close to where the products were manufactured.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>There was also a growing trend for manufacturers to acquire the manufacturing facilities of OEMs in the computer and telecoms sectors which led to further acquisitions.&nbsp;<br><br>Corporate ownership shifted from public to private as markets went through the slumps of the late 80s and early 90s.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rigorous-quality-standards-and-fast-time-to-market\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Rigorous quality standards and fast time to market&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>In 1994, Flextronics returned to the public markets when it was listed on the Nasdaq.

We had $2.2 billion in revenue and a customer list that was a \u2018who\u2019s who\u2019 of the Information and Communications Technology industry. We distinguished ourselves from competitors by the quality of our working environment and HR standards for employees, as well as our ability to get products to market quickly through its our multi-disciplinary new product introduction centers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Flextronics was named in the top three in IndustryWeek\u2019s \u2018100 Best Managed Companies\u2019 list.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-contract-manufacturing-to-a-solutions-provider\" style=\"font-weight:600\">From contract manufacturing to a solutions\u00a0provider\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2007, Flextronics bought long-time competitor Solectron for $3.6 billion.
