In
2002, PROMEX and SHANGHAI HINT ELECTRONIC CO LTD formed a joint venture
to provide a low labor cost offshore migration path for high volume
strategic customers. HINT acts as a strategic partner allowing seamless
transition to high volume, low cost manufacturing and usefully serves
as a gateway for those customers who may be seeking more convenient
access to the domestic Chinese market.
PROMEX Silicon
Valley operations act as a low to medium volume manufacturing and/
NPI process engineering hub before higher volumes coupled with competitive
market forces drive the need for significantly lower assembly cost.
The Silicon
Valley headquarters hub allows strategic customers a point of English
language communication in a convenient time zone. Process engineering
is done locally to improve customer feedback, logistics, customer
access and response. NPI is managed from design, layout, parts selection,
test and test fixture design, alpha and beta manufacturing runs
through medium volume production. Stable high volume production
is then seamlessly transferred to Shanghai HINT's synergistic operations.
