In 1998 NCR sold its computer hardware manufacturing assets to Solectron and ceased to produce general purpose computer systems.
In 2005, the company purchased the manufacturing division of Nortel Networks, and Solectron in 2007.
In April 2005, Redbox phased out the DVDPlay-manufactured machines and contracted Solectron—a subsidiary of Flextronics, which also manufactures the Zune, Xbox and Xbox 360—to create and manufacture a custom kiosk design.
