Intel to end production at five older factories
Employee Communications
January 21, 2009
This email message was sent to all Technology and Manufacturing Group employees on Wednesday afternoon by TMG leaders Bob Baker, Bill Holt, and Brian Krzanich. This follows announcements earlier in the day to specific groups of TMG employees in Malaysia, Philippines, Oregon, and California.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Paul said in his earnings webcast for employees last week, “we are aligning manufacturing capacity with current market conditions.” Intel will restructure some of its manufacturing operations by taking older capacity off line and closing some facilities. The restructuring will consolidate and streamline manufacturing operations and enable the deployment of new leading-edge capacity.
We will end production in five factories during the course of 2009. Included in this action will be closure of three assembly and test facilities in Penang, Malaysia (PG 6 and PG 7); and Cavite, Philippines. The company also will end production at Fab 20 in Hillsboro, Oregon and at D2 in Santa Clara, California. Over the last 24 hours, the employees in these factories have been told of these decisions. Additionally, TMG will do a reduction of approximately 1,000 employees from across the organization.
These actions are very difficult, but the current economic situation necessitated acceleration of these decisions. Employees at factories where the site is not being closed can apply for jobs on that site. At the locations where the sites are being closed, employees can apply for any international one-way transfers that are available.
These actions impact approximately 5,000 to 6,000 employees in total. Intel is very concerned about the welfare of the impacted employees and will offer an exit package and job placement support with full details to be shared within the next 30 days with those affected employees.
Intel has a continuous and ongoing process that looks at our worldwide capacity and makes decisions on a regular basis, and we will continue to make updates available on a real-time basis.
We ask that you consider that the organizations that are affected are working hard to manage their own situations, and we ask that you respect the individuals and organizations by allowing them some time and privacy to work through these difficult times.
Within TMG it is critical that as these actions are going on we continue to stay focused on job #1, continuing to ramp 45nm products, starting up 32nm and delivering the high quality products our customers deserve.
