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."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
