Logo in SVG format?

Is the logo available in SVG format anywhere? I fear the GIF version is rather obselete.

Sale of Celestica Corporate (1150 Site)

I believe the site was sold... it was at least vacated by employees, in a preparation for it to be sold/demolished. 142.204.70.20 14:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Something is wrong here...

A lot is wrong here. This is a very legitimate and well run conglomerate company with productive divisions all across the world. Refer to the the locations map on https://www.celestica.com/about-us/locations. You can dig deeper and find may products and services they offer. The way this article is written refers back to mis-management that occurred over 20 years ago. This whole article needs to be updated to reflect disivons that operate date center rooms, robotic pick and place equipment, software and services that are used to design, prototype and test circuit boards and micro electronics. I don't own any stock or deal with them directly but I believe the entire sections(s) that deal with their past should be deleted and replaced by current operations that provides useful machinery and services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidJNowak (talk • contribs) 22:07, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

The Celestica "plant" in Toronto was formerly an IBM site. If you look closely, you can still make out the "IBM" on various signs and buildings where the logo protected the paint under it and left it a darker color.

So, was this site always manufacturing? If so, what did they do there? There seems to be a large office complex on the site, which suggests that the main IBM site simply moved from here to their new site on Steeles.

What's the story here?

Ahhh, a good ref is here. I'll re-write. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Removal of text

Dawnc448, you'll notice that I've again removed the text you added to this article. I've done so for two reasons:

• copyright: since the text was copied from an external source and is protected by copyright, we can't add it to the article. See Wikipedia's copyright policy for more information on this. In general, you should rewrite text in your own words by paraphrasing, rather than copying and pasting chunks of copyrighted text into Wikipedia. However, even that won't work in this instance, because of...
• promotional tone. The text that was added was thoroughly promotional and non-neutral in tone, violating Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. "end-to-end product lifecycle solutions" is pure PR-speak, full of buzzwords that impart no substantive meaning to the text. If Celestica makes electronics, then simply say they do that. Elsewhere, talk of being a "leader in design" or "enabl[ing] some of the world's most well-known brands" feels ripped straight from a press release (because it is). Encyclopedias serve a fundamentally different purpose from PR materials, and even adapting PR text for Wikipedia will be an exercise in futility because the two media are at cross purposes.

I'll also make you aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, which strongly discourages editing any article with which you have some close personal or professional connection. And in particular, if you are being paid to edit a Wikipedia article, you must disclose this, or else you risk being indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia. /wiae /tlk 13:55, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

And just a note that I've opened a conflict-of-interest discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Celestica. That's the place to discuss any conflicts of interest; this talk page is still the place to talk about the copyright issues or the general promotional nature of the text. /wiae /tlk 14:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
