Dell to outsource N.C. jobs to Mexico

Dell Inc. is outsourcing to Mexico and other countries the work done at the North Carolina manufacturing plant the company is closing.

Round Rock-based Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) revealed the plans in a Trade Adjustment Assistance Act petition that the computer maker filed this week with U.S. Department of Labor, according to several published reports.

Dell is cutting nearly 1,000 jobs as a result of the move. The first 600 workers will lose their jobs next month.

“Our work volume is being transferred to a global manufacturing network,” Dell reported in the filing. “The work will be given to third-party providers who operate in Mexico and other countries around the globe.”

Dell, the No. 3 computer maker in the world, employs about 16,000 Central Texas workers.
Company officials said the North Carolina closing is “simplifying operations and improving efficiency.” Dell has been attempting to reduce annual operating costs by $4 billion.

Meanwhile, the company continues with the $3.9 billion acquisition of Plano-based Perot Systems Corp., which was announced last month. It would be the largest acquisition in Dell’s history.
