Jabil Inc. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu state government. Particularly, this is part of the company’s expansion plans in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India.

The signing took place in Chicago and was attended by M K Stalin, Chief Minister, and Dr. T R B Rajaa, Minister for Industries of the Tamil Nadu state government. Both leaders were in the United States in support of a state investment campaign.

“India is emerging as a key manufacturing hub. Our expansion in India will enable Jabil to meet and grow with the future needs of our customers and complement our existing facility in Pune, Maharashtra, in operation since 2003,” said Matt Crowley, Executive Vice President, Global Business Units at Jabil. 

Meanwhile, M K Stalin, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, commented, “Jabil’s foray into Tiruchirappalli will be a crucial anchor investment in the region. It will lead to job creation for the local youth and the emergence of a robust electronics supply chain.”

“This welcome move is another testament to the availability of talent and infrastructure in all parts of our State and will further entrench Tamil Nadu’s position as the leader in advanced electronics and innovation,” said M K Stalin.
