Sanmina-SCI, the second-largest maker of electronics for other companies, named Joseph R. Bronson president and chief operating officer. Bronson had been president of semiconductor-test equipment maker FormFactor, San Jose-based Sanmina-SCI said Thursday. He also spent 20 years at Applied Materials. Bronson joins Sanmina-SCI after the company said last month that sales this quarter may trail estimates. The company expects to raise $400 million to $600 million by selling its PC unit and some real estate, Chief Executive Jure Sola said in July.
