En dura nota, parece que RIM empezó con el pié izquierdo al perder una compañía socia que asistía una porción de la manufacturación de equipos BlackBerry.
Celestia es una de las compañías manufacturera de equipo BlackBerry y anunciaron el día de hoy que estarán en una fase de disminuir la manufacturación para luego terminar con los compromisos con Research In Motion.
Comunicado de prensa:
June 18, 2012
TORONTO, Canada – Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, today announced that over the course of the next three to six months, it will wind down its manufacturing services for Research in Motion (RIM).
Celestica has been a high-performing manufacturing supplier for RIM and will work closely with RIM throughout the transition. As discussed on the company’s first quarter results conference call on April 24, Celestica has been working with RIM as it assesses its supply chain strategy. Celestica estimates that prior to any recoveries, its restructuring charges will not exceed $35 million.
More details about this announcement will be provided as part of the company’s second-quarter results press release and conference call, which are scheduled for Friday, July 27.
In addition, Celestica is reaffirming its second quarter financial guidance that was provided on April 24. The company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $1.65 billion to $1.75 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.26.
Pero no todo es malo, porque ahora se está asumiendo que RIM pudiera estar por su lado en terminar acuerdos con otra compañía manufacturera, que al momento desconocemos de quien se trata.
