JULY 12 GLOBAL BREAKFAST SERIES MEETING
FEATURES SOLECTRON'S KOICHI NISHIMURA 

The Global Breakfast series, sponsored by the Silicon Valley Global Trading
Center, continues at the San Jose Decathalon Club on Wednesday, July 12 with
Koichi Nishimura on "The Globalization of Solecton".

Koichi Nishimura, Ph.D., is President and Chief Executive Officer of
Solectron Corporation, headquartered in Milpitas, California. Dr. Nishimura
has been instrumental in the transformation of Solectron from a regional
company to an internationally recognized supplier of electronics
manufacturing services.  

The company expanded from one location in Silicon Valley to sites in
Malaysia, Japan, France, and Scotland, and additional U.S. operations in
North Carolina and Washington.  Exports comprise over 30% of sales.  The
company's products and services are sold to the electronics, computer, 
communications, medical, and avionics industries.

Dr. Nishimura was the driving force behind Solectron's adoption of the
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria as a quality roadmap.  His
leadership resulted in the company's selection as a 1991 winner.  He
currently serves as a director for the Center for Continuous Improvement and
the California Center for Quality, Education and Development.

In discussing "The Globalization of Solectron", Dr. Nishimura will have the
opportunity to reveal some of the key strategic planning steps which enabled
him to transfom a regional supplier into a global one.

The Global Breakfast Series is sponsored by the Silicon Valley Global Trading
Center, an Initiative of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network.  A light
breakfast is provided, beginning at 7:15 a.m. The Decathlon Club is at 3250
Central Expressway, Santa Clara, between Bowers and Corwin. The cost is
