The manufacturing of Lantronix’s (News - Alert) SLC line of console servers will be relocated to the United States. All the 12 SLC models which are intended for the North American Market will be now manufactured in the United States from January 2012 onwards. An announcement in this regard has been made by the top global provider of smart connectivity solutions, Lantronix. Virtually any electronic device or machine is able to communicate and share data with applications and business and technology professionals with these solutions.

Until now, the 12 SLC models were manufactured in Penang, Malaysia. Responsiveness to fluctuations in customer demand will be now improved. The lead time will be shortened and rising freight costs will be also mitigated.

The units will be produced by the top provider of electronic manufacturing services or EMS, OnCore Manufacturing Services. The units will be produced at OnCore’s San Marcos facility. SLC products that comply with the Buy American Act can be therefore easily sourced by Lantronix.

In a release, Daniel Perez, President and CEO, OnCore Manufacturing, said, "We're delighted that Lantronix has selected OnCore's San Marcos site for the manufacture of the SLC units. Our six North American sites are designed to manage customers' complex supply-chains while providing them with flexibility to respond to changes in their business."

According to Perez, customers will be provided with very personalized product manufacturing services as all of the company’s sites are organized. Customers will be therefore able to achieve their product's performance objectives.

Complete local remote management solutions for the data center are provided by Lantronix' SLC console servers. IT managers are able to securely and remotely manage serial devices with the SLC product line even if the primary network is down. These include servers, switches, routers, telecom equipment, and more.

Kurt Busch, President and CEO, Lantronix said, "North America is a market of large opportunity for our SLC product line. Moving manufacturing to the U.S. reduces our operating expenses while furthering our mission of providing high quality products, delivered quickly and efficiently, coupled with outstanding customer service -- all with the added benefit of supporting job creation in the U.S."
