ReliOn Inc. (Spokane, WA), a provider of high-reliability fuel cell solutions for backup power applications, announced that Celestica will serve as electronics manufacturing services provider for ReliOn's fuel cell products going forward.

Under the terms of the agreement, Celestica began initial manufacturing, assembly and testing of ReliOn's fuel cell products in June.

"ReliOn chose to work with Celestica not only because of its technical excellence and manufacturing expertise, but also its ability to provide exceptional supply chain leverage and lean manufacturing practices. This choice will enable us to lower the cost of building our products and to ramp production to meet market demand," said ReliOn President and Chief Executive Officer John Werderman. "We are fortunate to have Celestica's tier-one experience contributing to our commercialization progress."
