Jabil Acquires Retronix, Promotes Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Jabil Inc. JBL expands its commitment to sustainability by acquiring Retronix, a provider in the reclamation and refurbishment of electronic components. Deal terms were not disclosed.

This move bolsters Jabil's capabilities in promoting the circular economy, aiming to minimize electronic waste through the reuse and recycling of product components.
