ATLANTA – Technology Forecasters and Spartronics this month will present a free one-hour online Webinar on electronics manufacturing in Vietnam and India.
The Webinar takes place March 21 at 2 pm EDT and is produced by UP Media Group, the parent company of Circuits Assembly. Matt Chanoff, TFI senior economist, will co-present with Jason Craft, director and general manager of Spartronics’ EMS operations in Vietnam.
They will discuss pros and cons of manufacturing in the two
emerging markets.
As the costs of manufacturing in China continue to
rise, OEMs and EMS providers are turning their attention to India, both
as a market and low-cost manufacturing location. The challenges are
immense, ranging from poor physical infrastructure to an immature
supply and manufacturing base. Is Vietnam a better alternative?
The
Webinar will cover highlights from TFI’s research report, “India: The
Next Big Opportunity.” Topics to be discussed: selling and
manufacturing trends in India; companies currently manufacturing in
India; key factors for investing in India; challenges to operating in
India; OEM company recommendations; EMS strategies for investing in
India. Also, Craft will share insights gained from his experience
setting up and running the first North American-based, state-of-the art
ISO9001: 2000 and AS9100: 2004 certified electronics facility in
Vietnam.
