It’s been a great relief to see improvements in the electronics manufacturing industry this year. Supply and demands levelled out, backlogs have cleared up and lead times have shortened — making for a much more streamlined day-to-day for producers and consumers of electronic devices. But the coast’s not clear just yet.

Most businesses don’t look back on last year fondly, given that 45% of companies faced supply chain impacts that caused higher costs, interruptions, and failures — hindering their abilities to service customers.

The healthcare sector is at a turning point. The NHS and other crucial services have been at maximum capacity since the pandemic due to increased demand, backlogged appointments and staff strikes, and practitioners are struggling to keep up.

Thanks to the overconsumption of Earth’s finite supplies, estimates suggest we’ll need two planets’ resources by 2030. As a result, conquering environmental waste is no longer optional – it’s a fundamental economic and societal priority. 

Electronic Manufacturing Solutions (EMS) has announced the acquisition of NuStart Electronics, a CEM based in Newbury. As well as further enhancing EMS’ dedication to an on-going investment strategy, the latest acquisition highlights EMS’ commitment to customers’ needs and will enable them to provide the best possible solutions available from one of the broadest service offerings in the industry.
