The Top 50 EMS Companies Chat

The electronics manufacturing services industry in 2012 saw something of a changing of the guard as major European players like Elcoteq, ElectronicNetwork and SRI Radio Systems dropped off the map, and dependable stalwart industries like military and PCs experienced slow growth.

What did we learn from the events of last year, and what will the future of the EMS industry look like? Come chat with me on April 23 over at PCB Chat from 12 noon to 1 pm (Eastern). I will also discuss the annual CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Top 50, which was released in April.

(Membership in PCB Chat is free, but you do need to register first.)
