CommScope, Inc., a world leader in the manufacture of high-performance broadband communication cables, has purchased a Motorola manufacturing facility located in the Campinas region of Brazil. The facility, which previously manufactured telecommunications equipment, is being modified to produce coaxial cables to support the build out of wired and wireless telecommunications networks. The facility became available last year when Motorola established its new, larger Industry and Technology campus in Jaguariuna. The purchase price for the facility was not disclosed. When modifications are complete, the buildings will total approximately 200,000 square feet. The facility is expected to be fully operational around mid-year 2001 and is planned to initially employ approximately 200 people. Concurrently, CommScope signed a worldwide cable supply agreement with Motorola for wireless cable products and reached agreement on expanding opportunities between the companies for other broadband cable products.
