SCI Systems

SCI Systems, Inc. was a pioneering electronics contract manufacturing services (EMS) provider and a major Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) for the healthcare industry. Founded in 1961 as Space Craft Inc., the company initially specialized in aerospace and defense systems for NASA before diversifying into medical electronics. Its Medical Systems Division became a global leader in the production of high-complexity medical devices, including MRI machines, CT scanners, ultrasound systems, and blood analyzers for top-tier OEMs like GE and Philips. The company was instrumental in the growth of the medical outsourcing market, providing end-to-end design, engineering, and manufacturing services. In 2001, SCI Systems was acquired by Sanmina Corporation for approximately $6 billion, forming Sanmina-SCI. Today, its legacy continues as part of Sanmina's extensive medical manufacturing operations.
