With the establishment of an IMI subsidiary in Japan, we hope to attract more Japanese OEMs who will outsource manufacturing as well as product development to IMI".
"We upgraded our sales office in Tokyo to a subsidiary which will focus on building relationships with Japan-based OEMs as well as serving as front-end design and product development centre.
Our Japanese engineers can collaborate with OEMs on product development projects, acting as a technical bridge between the customers and IMI's engineering centres in the Philippines, Singapore, China, and the United States," Tan added.
The use of outsourcing partners by Japan-based OEMs has gained momentum over the last three years.
Japan's outsourcing industry posted total revenues of US$7.1 billion in 2005 based on the report titled "Worldwide Electronics Manufacturing Services Market" published last year by the Electronic Trend Publications.
It is expected to grow to a US$13-billion industry by 2010.
Tan said, "Japanese have become more receptive of the idea of relying on EMS partners to reduce manufacturing and product development costs although they have not embraced it as much as their counterparts in the United States and Western Europe.
By establishing a Japanese subsidiary, we demonstrate our commitment to strengthen relationships with our current Japanese partners and build new ones with whom we can work with over the long-haul".
