ADDITIONAL CASES Dialight PLC, Plaintiff v. Sanmina Corporation, Defendant; 19 Civ. 11712 SEALED OPINION AND ORDER Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”) seeks reconsideration of the Court’s Sealed Opinion and Order of March 14, 2023, resolving Sanmina’s motion for partial summary judgment (the “MSJ Opinion” or “MSJ Op.”). Specifically, Sanmina seeks reconsideration of this Court’s denial of summary judgment with respect to Sanmina’s breach of contract claim predicated on certain accounts receivable. For the reasons set forth in the remainder of this Opinion, the Court finds that limited reconsideration of its earlier decision is warranted, and thus grants the motion in part. BACKGROUND1 A. Factual Background The Court assumes familiarity with the factual and procedural histories of this litigation and incorporates by reference the facts set forth in its MSJ Opinion. (Dkt. #121 (MSJ Op.)). The Court summarizes below only the facts essential to the adjudication of the instant motion. Dialight plc (“Dialight”) is a designer and manufacturer of industrial light-emitting diode (“LED”) light fixtures for use in a variety of high-risk environments, including factory floors, oil refineries, and telecommunications towers. (Dialight 56.1 71). Dialight’s products are made-to-order, as opposed to mass-produced. (Id. 73). Dialight adheres to a “high mix, low volume” approach, producing relatively small quantities of a large variety of products. (Id.

72-74). Sanmina, on the other hand, is one of the world’s largest contract manufacturers. (Sanmina 56.1 1). Sanmina operates seventy-five manufacturing facilities in twenty-five countries. (Id.). Its Guadalajara, Mexico factories are dedicated to manufacturing lighting equipment, among other products. (Id. 5). The contract dispute at the heart of this litigation arose from Dialight’s desire to outsource some of its manufacturing obligations to a third party. (Dialight 56.1
