EMSNOW reports on our last two EMS visits on this OnTour India: InCap and Indic EMS Electronics. Eric tells us who he met with at each company and some details about what makes each unique. As he explains, there is no one way to run an EMS business and this tour has certainly highlighted that fact.

InCap is a global EMS that first became a public company on the Helsinki stock exchange in 1997. Its India facility has been in operation for 18 years as a pure EMS, with a streamlined, local management team empowered to make decisions quickly. They export around 90% of what they make, mainly to Europe, but other countries as well. Eric describes what he learned about the challenges and opportunities faced by a foreign company setting up EMS in India. InCap has been very successful, boasting it hasn't lost a customer in that facility in its 18 year history. On the podcast, we hear about InCap's expansion plans, typical customer market sector, and future expectations for growth.

Indic EMS Electronics is a domestic EMS focused on both traditional EMS and ODM services - 85% EMS/15% ODM currently. One thing that was clear from this tour, Eric commented, was it strives to do EMS differently. It exports about 75% of its products from its current facility in India. A second facility is under construction, and Eric was invited to tour the site, which proved very interesting. The contractor is a Japanese firm, Eric explains, chosen for expertise in sustainable architecture, and the new facility is expected to be leading edge in many respects.

Next on the agenda is Productronica/Electronica India: be on the lookout for one more podcast about those meetings.
