SINGAPORE, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flextronics (Nasdaq: FLEX) today announced that it has completed phase one of a two-phase build-out in Ganzhou, Jiangxi China to support its Power operations. Flextronics previously announced its plans to expand into this region in May 2010. The roughly one million-square-foot facility further expands the Flextronics Power business operations in China.

Flextronics' Power business leverages an end-to-end vertically integrated supply chain that includes the design of innovative, high efficiency products, all the way through to the manufacturing and distribution to customers around the world. From its new Ganzhou facility, Flextronics will support its growing Power business and plans to hire thousands of employees over the next twelve months, with continued employment growth expected over the next five years.

"I am extremely pleased with today's Ganzhou facility opening ceremony.
