Jabil Circuit, a Florida provider of electronics manufacturing services, said this week that it would "wind down" its relationship with the troubled smartphone maker. BlackBerry is Jabil Circuit's second-largest customer, accounting for 12 percent of its business.
"We are faced with a strong possibility of disengaging with BlackBerry," Mark Mondello, Jabil Circuit's chief executive, said during a call with analysts. "Detailed plans and discussions are underway with our customer."
Jabil Circuit plans to take a restructuring charge related to the move, which Mondello said he was "disappointed" by.
