Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Organization of Sanmina Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1989. The Company is a leading global provider of integrated manufacturing solutions, components, products and repair, logistics and after-market services. The Company provides these comprehensive solutions primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the following industries: communications networks, storage, industrial, defense and aerospace, medical, energy and industries that include embedded computing technologies such as set-top boxes, point-of-sale devices, casino gaming machines and automotive components and products. The Company's operations are managed as two businesses:
1) | Integrated Manufacturing Solutions (IMS). IMS is a single operating segment consisting of printed circuit board assembly and test, final system assembly and test, and direct-order-fulfillment.
2) | Components, Products and Services (CPS). Components include interconnect systems (printed circuit board fabrication, backplane, cable assemblies and plastic injection molding) and mechanical systems (enclosures and precision machining). Products include memory, RF, optical and microelectronics solutions from the Company's Viking Technology division; defense and aerospace products from SCI Technology; storage solutions from the Company's Newisys division and cloud-based manufacturing execution software from the Company's 42Q division. Services include design, engineering, logistics and repair services.
The Company's only reportable segment is IMS, which represented approximately 80% of total revenue in 2017. The CPS business consists of multiple operating segments which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for being presented as reportable segments. Therefore, financial information for these operating segments will be presented in a single category entitled “Components, Products and Services”. Basis of Presentation Fiscal Year. The Company operates on a 52 or 53 week year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30. Fiscal 2017 and 2016 were each 52 weeks and fiscal 2015 was a 53-week year, with the extra week occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter. The additional week in 2015 did not significantly affect the Company's results of operations or financial position. All references to years relate to fiscal years unless otherwise noted. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
