Electronic supplier adding jobs in Memphis

By early December, Jabil expects to be making and shipping cash registers and self-serve kiosks in Memphis to meet demands of a new corporate customer.

Jabil is to receive parts for the equipment from 200 suppliers and then ship the finished products to customers across North and South America.

“This will be a pure distribution center with some assembly work,” Alex Privert, the company’s operations manager, said Monday.

Jabil, which already has a distribution center in Memphis, is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The company expects 2005 revenues of $6 billion and has 41,000 employees, with 372 now in Memphis.
