Newspaper: Samsung closed Tijuana plant for profit reasons

Mexico, Friday, November 11, 2005 .- Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung closed its cell phone plant in Tijuana, Mexico, in September because it was not profitable, local newspaper Reforma reported a Samsung executive as allegedly saying. When consulted by Reforma, the Mexican unit of Samsung declined to confirm that the plant had been closed for profit reasons.

“The closure of the plant was a corporate not a regional decision and had to do with the fact that investments are going to be directed into the audio and video divisions,” Samsung Mexico told Reforma.
