IEC Electronics Corp. conducts business directly, as well as through its subsidiaries,
IEC Electronics Wire and Cable, Inc (“Wire and Cable”) that merged
into IEC on December 28, 2016, IEC Electronics Corp-Albuquerque (“Albuquerque”),
IEC Analysis & Testing Laboratory, LLC (“ATL”) and IEC California
Holdings, Inc. The Rochester unit, formerly known as Celmet, operates as a division
of IEC.
We are a premier provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”)
to advanced technology companies that produce life-saving and mission critical
products for the medical, industrial, aerospace and defense sectors. We specialize
in delivering technical solutions for the custom manufacturing, product configuration,
and verification testing of highly engineered complex products that require
a sophisticated level of manufacturing to ensure quality and performance.
Within the EMS sector, we have unique capabilities which allow our customers
to rely on us to solve their complex challenges, minimize their supply chain
risk and deliver full system solutions for their supply chain. These capabilities
include, among others:
Our engineering services include the design, development, and fabrication of
customized stress testing platforms to simulate a product’s end application,
such as thermal cycling and vibration, in order to ensure reliable performance
and avoid catastrophic failure when the product is placed in service.
Our vertical manufacturing model offers customers the ability to simplify their
supply chain by utilizing a single supplier for their critical components including
complex printed circuit board assembly (“PCBA”), precision metalworking,
and interconnect solutions. This service model allows us to control the cost,
lead time, and quality of these critical components which are then integrated
into full system assemblies and minimizes our customers’ supply chain
risk.
We provide direct order fulfillment services for our customers by integrating
with their configuration management process to obtain their customer orders,
customize the product to the specific requirements, functionally test the product
and provide verification data, and direct ship to their end customer in order
to reduce time, cost, and complexity within our customers supply chain.
We are the only EMS provider with an on-site laboratory that has been approved
by the Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) for their Qualified Testing
Supplier List (“QTSL”) program which deems the site suitable to
conduct various QTSL and military testing standards including counterfeit component
analysis. In addition, this advanced laboratory is utilized for complex design
analysis and manufacturing process development to solve challenges and accelerate
our customers’ time to market.
We are a 100% US manufacturer which attracts customers who are unlikely to
utilize offshore suppliers due to the proprietary nature of their products,
governmental restrictions or volume considerations. Our locations include:
Newark, New York - Located approximately one hour east of Rochester, NY, our
Newark location is our corporate headquarters and is the largest manufacturing
location providing complex circuit board manufacturing, interconnect solutions,
and system-level assemblies along with an on-site material analysis laboratory
for advanced manufacturing process development.
Rochester, New York - Focuses on precision metalworking services including complex
metal chassis and assemblies.
Albuquerque, New Mexico - Specializes in the aerospace and defense markets with
complex circuit board and system-level assemblies along with a state of the
art analysis and testing laboratory which conducts counterfeit component analysis
and complex design analysis.
We excel at complex, highly engineered products that require sophisticated
manufacturing support where quality and reliability are of paramount importance.
With our customers at the center of everything we do, we have created a high-intensity,
rapid response culture capable of reacting and adapting to their ever-changing
needs. Our customer-centric approach offers a high degree of flexibility while
simultaneously complying with rigorous quality and on-time delivery standards.
We proactively invest in areas we view as important for our continued long-term
growth. All of our locations are ISO 9001:2008 certified and ITAR registered.
We are Nadcap accredited and AS9100C certified at our Newark and Albuquerque
locations to support the stringent quality requirements of the aerospace industry.
Our Newark location is ISO 13485 certified to serve the medical market sector
and is an approved supplier by the National Security Agency (“NSA”)
under the COMSEC standard regarding communications security. Our analysis &
testing laboratory in Albuquerque is ISO 17025 accredited, an IPC-approved Validation
Services test Laboratory, and is the only on-site EMS laboratory that has been
approved by the DLA for their QTSL program which deems the site suitable to
conduct various QTSL and military testing standards including counterfeit component
analysis. Albuquerque also performs work per NASA-STD-8739 and J-STD-001ES space
standards.
The EMS industry specializes in providing the program management, technical
support and manufacturing expertise required to take a product from the early
design and prototype stages through volume production and distribution. Primarily
as a response to rapid technological change and increased competition in the
electronics industry, OEMs have recognized that by utilizing EMS providers they
can improve their competitive position, realize an improved return on investment
and concentrate on their core competencies such as research, product design
and development and marketing. In addition, EMS providers allow OEMs to bring
new products to market more rapidly and to adjust more quickly to fluctuations
in product demand; avoid additional investment in plant, equipment and personnel;
reduce inventory and other overhead costs; and determine known unit costs over
the life of a contract. Many OEMs now consider EMS providers valued partners
in executing their business and manufacturing strategy.
OEMs increasingly require EMS providers to provide complete turn-key manufacturing
and material handling services rather than working on a consignment basis in
which the OEM supplies all materials and the EMS provider supplies labor. Turn-key
contracts involve design, manufacturing and engineering support, the procurement
of all materials, sophisticated in-circuit and functional testing, and distribution.
