Sanmina's MAC footprint spans several IEEE registrants that should be cross-referenced as one EMS group: the main "Sanmina Corporation" (San Jose, CA), the legacy "Sanmina-SCI" entity holding the MA-L blocks 00:1A:38 and 00:21:46 (registered at 13000 South Memorial Parkway, Huntsville, AL), and "SANMINA ISRAEL MEDICAL SYSTEMS LTD", which holds the specific MA-S assignment 8C:1F:64:B2:C/36 (Ma'alot, Israel). These OUIs appear on servers, storage, networking equipment, medical devices, and industrial/automotive electronics — all built for OEM brands. Sanmina merged with SCI Systems in 2001 to form Sanmina-SCI and was later renamed Sanmina Corporation; it is an EMS peer to Foxconn, Flex, Jabil, and Celestica. The key analyst point is the classic EMS "OUI ≠ brand" case: a Sanmina OUI identifies the contract manufacturer, not the brand on the box — the device could be a server, storage array, networking box, or medical device sold under another company's name.
- IEEE assignment
- multiple entities — "Sanmina Corporation" (San Jose), legacy "Sanmina-SCI" (00:1A:38, 00:21:46; Huntsville AL), "SANMINA ISRAEL MEDICAL SYSTEMS LTD" (MA-S 8C:1F:64:B2:C/36, Ma'alot) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L + MA-S
- Registry / block size
- mix of MA-L (legacy Sanmina-SCI: 00:1A:38, 00:21:46) + the Sanmina-Israel MA-S 8C:1F:64:B2:C/36; the full Sanmina Corporation main-registrant enumeration is not established as a single clean count (kept null) [confidence Medium] — hwaddress.com / maclookup.app
- HQ / country
- Sanmina Corporation, San Jose, CA; legacy Sanmina-SCI at 13000 South Memorial Parkway, Huntsville, AL 35803; Israel entity Koren industrial zone no 5, Ma'alot, Israel 2101002 [Confirmed] — hwaddress.com, maclookup.app
- Company status
- active; merged with SCI Systems 2001 to form Sanmina-SCI, later renamed Sanmina Corporation [Likely] — SEC filings / corporate history
- Device types
- servers, storage, networking equipment, medical devices, industrial/automotive electronics — built for OEM brands [Confirmed] — corporate
- Notable products
- contract-manufactured servers/storage/networking/medical/automotive electronics
- Verified prefix sample
- 00:1A:38, 00:21:46 (legacy Sanmina-SCI); Sanmina-Israel MA-S = 8C:1F:64:B2:C/36 (NOT the bare 8C:1F:64 base) [Confirmed] — hwaddress.com, maclookup.app
- Special note
- Classic EMS "OUI ≠ brand" case; legacy SCI Systems / Sanmina-SCI registrants persist. Multiple distinct registrant entities by region/division. The bare 00:50:C2 and bare 8C:1F:64 are shared IEEE Registration-Authority base pools (thousands of unrelated orgs) — NOT Sanmina OUIs. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
- Related vendors
- Foxconn, Flex, Jabil, Celestica (EMS peers); SCI Systems (legacy merged entity)
- Analyst note
- A Sanmina OUI identifies the contract manufacturer, not the brand on the box — the device could be a server, storage array, networking box, or medical device sold under another company's name.
