Jabil Acquires Retronix to Advance Circular Economy Initiatives

Retronix services bolster Jabil's efforts to recover, refurbish, and recycle product components and materials to reduce electronic waste

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - November 6, 2023 - Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL), a global leader in design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions, today announced the successful acquisition of

Retronix, an innovative provider in the reclamation and refurbishment of electronic
components, completed earlier this year.

"We are thrilled to welcome Retronix to the Jabil family," said Frank McKay, chief
procurement and supply chain officer at Jabil. "This acquisition demonstrates our commitment
to our customers' and our own environmental initiatives. As a trusted partner to many global
brands, Jabil feels a strong sense of responsibility to not just support sustainability for
ourselves, but to shepherd our customers towards decarbonization solutions like this — the
reuse and recycling of electronic components."

For 30 years, Retronix has been a market leader in component recovery, reballing, retinning,
and component authenticity testing services. The deal adds exclusive technologies to Jabil's
portfolio while maintaining security, quality, and certification standards. These services enable
the safe extraction of embedded valuable components from printed circuit boards (PCBs) and
other electronics to minimize waste, create new value channels, and mitigate future
component obsolescence.

The deal adds to Jabil's current circular economy services including reverse supply chain
management, medical device reprocessing, recycled packaging, and emission reductions. It
strengthens Jabil's mission to offer sustainable options to its customers who are increasing
the use of electronics in "smart" products like electronic vehicles, home appliances, medical
devices, and even packaged goods.

"Like Jabil, Retronix works with leading brands across industries such as telecommunications,
defense, automotive, and healthcare. Now, these services will be available to Jabil customers,
and together, we will strengthen the circular economy," said Jed Pecchioli, vice president of
supply chain at Jabil. "Being a part of Jabil will make an impact on sustainable manufacturing.
From product design to end-of-life, our common goal is to squeeze every bit of life out of
every material and reduce electronic waste."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
