History
Founded in 1984 as a microelectronics unit of the Lohja Corporation,[7] the company became independent in an early 1990s management buyout.[8]
Elcoteq made an IPO on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in November 1997.[9]
It manufactured the ill-fated Microsoft Kin for Sharp Corporation in the late 2000s.[10]
On October 6, 2011, Elcoteq filed for bankruptcy in Luxembourg.[11] The loss of a major client, Nokia, to Asian sourcing outfits[12] may have been a contributing cause.Шаблон:Citation needed
