Killingly manufacturer Rogers Corp. is preparing to move part of its Curamik Electronics GmbH operations from Germany to Hungary – its second European production shift in a month, a regulatory filing shows.
Moving final product inspections by late this year or early next from Eschenbach, Germany, to a new facility in an unspecified Hungarian location will make Curamik more responsive to customers, according to Rogers’ latest 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Curamik’s manufacturing process is for direct bonded copper ceramic substrates.
Rogers said in the filing an unspecified number of workers will be affected by the move.
A Rogers official said Tuesday further details were unavailable, citing the “quiet period’’ leading up to the company’s quarterly earnings release in the next week.
In June, Rogers declared it will spend about $3 million to close a money-losing plant that makes silicone materials in Bremen, Germany, and transfer its operations to its Carol Stream, Ill., facility.
