SANM

Sanmina Corporation

A maker of electronics for other companies, Sanmina builds printed circuit boards, memory and storage systems, and defense products for original equipment manufacturers in industrial, medical, automotive, and communications markets. Founded in 1980 in Silicon Valley by Jure Sola and Milan Mandarić, the company's name blends the founders' names—"San" from Sola and "Mina" from Mandarić. It grew through a 2001 merger with SCI Systems, briefly becoming Sanmina-SCI before returning to the Sanmina name in 2012.
