WUHAN, CHINA -- Meiko received an approval to reopen its printed circuit board fabrication factory here yesterday, following a nearly three-month shutdown.

The PCB manufacturer had temporarily suspended operations at the plant in late October because of issues related to environmental evaluations.

Meiko was the world’s 15th largest PCB fabricator in 2010, according to the annual NTI-100, but was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last March.
