Origin

In 1969, Joe and Barbara-Ann McKenzie started a family business called Flextronics, which manufactured circuit boards for the growing number of Silicon Valley companies. 

By automating board construction, they were able to produce boards more reliably, faster and more cost-effectively than their customers could on their own.
