Elcoteq SE, one of the leading electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company in the communications technology industry, marks the 10th year anniversary of its Dongguan high-volume manufacturing plant and its Hong Kong management support office in China. Elcoteq was one of the first EMS companies to recognize Chinese customer demand for local manufacturing and support services, establishing Elcoteq Dongguan and Elcoteq Asia Ltd in 1999. Elcoteq factories in China manufacture communications technology products such as wireless communications terminal products, home communications products, and network equipment.
China represents one of the emerging markets for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and EMS providers of communications products and has a very significant customer base. In 2000, Elcoteq opened an office in Beijing and was the first global EMS company to start manufacturing operations in the Chinese capital. Today, Elcoteq Dongguan, in the Nancheng District of Dongguan, China, is one of Elcoteq's three volume manufacturing plants in the Asia-Pacific region (the others are in Beijing and India). To support the Dongguan operation, Elcoteq Asia Ltd was set up as a customer center in Hong Kong and later developed with management support functions for all Elcoteq business area and group activities in the Asia-Pacific region. Additional Asian offices are in Seoul, Korea, and Tokyo, Japan. Elcoteq China operations have about 4,000 employees working in facilities that cover about 58,200 square meters. The service portfolio has broadened from assembly manufacturing to complete box-build manufacturing, supply chain management, product development, and engineering and after-sales services.
Along with manufacturing services, Elcoteq's Dongguan plant supports original equipment manufacturers (OEM) with fully integrated solutions comprised of collaborative design, manufacturing, engineering services, sourcing, demand and supply chain management, and after-sales services, including product repair and recycling, for the entire lifecycle of the OEM's products. Manufacturing services include box build and sub-assembly manufacturing for communications products such as mobile phones, (GSM, PHS, CDMA), LCD driver modules, and base station modules. The plant is ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified and has Six Sigma, SA8000, and EHS implementation.
