CIMTEK Expands in China Full-Service Product Test Operations Supports Demand for Quality Global Manufacturing

CIMTEK has expanded its operations with a new facility in Suzhou, China. The move supports global demand for quality manufacturing and gives CIMTEK's customers greater capability to fully capitalize on one of the world's fastest-growing manufacturing and electronics assembly markets.

This new facility addresses a key strategic requirement for electronics manufacturers today: The need to fulfill critical Asian-based business initiatives, while ensuring that the most reliable products are delivered to market as fast and cost-effectively as possible. CIMTEK's integrated functional test solutions - an optimal combination of software, systems and services - will be easily accessible for the growing number of products being developed within China.

As globalization continues to soar, China has become a key part of any manufacturer's business strategy. Home to one of the world's fastest-growing economies, China provides the advanced infrastructure, talent and business processes that support both revenue-generating opportunities and bottom-line savings for all types of manufacturers.

"China is essential to manufacturers' ability to stay ahead by continuously delivering innovation and volume quickly and cost-effectively," said Stan Smith, president and CEO of CIMTEK. "Our new office provides added flexibility and options to better leverage the resources available in China while ensuring highly accountable manufacturing processes driven by test and product quality."

Keeping Product Quality High - Across the Globe

The new office expands CIMTEK's breadth and expertise within the Asian market, where it has managed the deployment and support of more than 1,500 test systems in the past three years. The company also plans to introduce several new services to meet the demand for outsourced sustained engineering, new product introduction support and new production line activation.

Establishing operations in Suzhou delivers benefits not seen anywhere else. Widely recognized as an ideal location for logistics export support - with close proximity to major global manufacturing markets, including Shanghai and nearby eastern provinces - it provides manufacturers with the advanced infrastructure and highly skilled labor pool needed to raise product quality while decreasing costs.

CIMTEK re-defines test solutions for electronics, automotive, avionic and medical manufacturers, as an integrated business strategy placing quality test in its rightful place - across the product lifecycle - to drive better sourcing, production and aftermarket decisions.

Many of the world's largest manufacturers, including Microsoft Corp., Motorola, Inc., Honeywell, Siemens, Visteon Corporation, Delphi Corporation and DuPont Dozens rely on CIMTEK's integrated test engineering solutions to drive real business value and hard-dollar savings that improve speed-to-market, minimize product failure risk and educe overall lifecycle costs.
