History
Celestica was incorporated in 1994 as a subsidiary of IBM.[3] In 1996, it was sold off to Onex Corporation. In April 2001, the company announced it was laying off 3,000 people, about 10% of its workforce, due to the dot-com crash.[4] Losses mounted and on 29 January 2004 the company announced that company CEO Eugene Polistuk would be retiring. In April 2004, Stephen Delaney took over as CEO in a temporary capacity.[5]
CEO Craig Muhlhauser announced his retirement in October 2014. Rob Mionis took over for him on 1 August 2015.[6]
