In a statement the company said: "In light of the particularly challenging conditions in the EMS business we are currently evaluating options to ensure that this area remains profitable, competitive and able to provide an improved level of service to its customers. These options include reviewing existing capacity in the UK, and reducing fixed operational costs in the UK and Asia.
