SP Manufacturing Delivers Excellence in Mission-Critical Industries

SP Manufacturing (SPM), a Singapore-headquartered company founded in 2000, is a leader in theelectronics manufacturing services (EMS) sector, catering to mission-critical industries such as industrial, medical, automotive, and aerospace. The company provides total manufacturing solutions from design concept to full production with its state–of–the–art equipment and processes specializing in manufacturing high–quality cable harnesses, printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, and box-build products.

Its global engineering and supply chain teams provide services such as design for manufacturing, design for testability, design for supply chain, prototype, and new product introduction to ensure a smooth transition from design to manufacturing.Additionally, it builds products that range from simple electronics sensors to large, complex electro-mechanical systems that are delivered to customers worldwide.

SPM’s strategic approach focuses on providing high mix, low–medium volume manufacturing capabilities, reinforced by a strong onshore/offshore hybrid model with facilities across Asia, Europe, and the United States. “Our focus is on our capabilities and commitment to deliver the tailored solutions that meet the stringent demands of our customers,” said Jackson Tan, Head of Sales.

Since its inception, SPM has expanded its footprint significantly. The company was initially established in Hong Kong and China, and over the years, it has strategically grown to include facilities in Indonesia, Germany, Poland, and the United States, with a new facility set to open in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in 2024. This global presence enables SPM to offer a balanced blend of onshore and offshore services, providing cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or accessibility.

Mission-Critical Focus

SPM operates with a mission-critical mindset, essential for industries where high stakes and high availability are non-negotiable. This focus is seen in the company’s comprehensive service offerings, which include:

• PCB Assembly & Test: Advanced capabilities like conformal coating, robotic soldering machines, and in-circuit testing ensure high-quality outcomes.

• Cable & Wire Harness: Sophisticated processes including auto splice and connector press techniques.

• Product Box Build: Complete integrated testing and ultrasonic welding to ensure product reliability and durability.

The company’s adherence to stringent quality standards is underscored by certifications across its facilities, including ISO9001, ISO13485, ISO14001, IATF16949, and AS9100D, along with FDA registrations in the USA and China.

While SPM places great importance on quality, it also knows that customer service and strategy is key. SPM’s customer strategy is anchored in building long-term partnerships with a select group of clients, ensuring deep engagement and superior service. This approach has driven its growth, which has outpaced the industry average. By focusing on fewer clients, the company and its team – including senior

leadership – can provide personalized oversight and support.

The company supports the full product lifecycle, from concept and design through to prototyping, pre-production, and scale-up manufacturing. Its design support engineering, early supplier involvement, and dedicated project teams help mitigate production risks and streamline processes, ensuring high-quality outcomes and customer satisfaction.

Global Capabilities and Facilities

SPM’s facilities are equipped with advanced technologies and staffed by skilled professionals. Highlights include:

• Singapore (HQ): Specializes in box build, engineering, and design for excellence (DFx).

• Indonesia: Houses seven PCBA lines and capabilities for cable harness and box build.

• China & Hong Kong: Focus on electromechanical assembly and cable harness.

• Germany: Equipped with three PCBA lines and offers box build and DFx services.

• Poland: Specializes in box build.

• United States: Provides engineering, design, and customer service.

• Malaysia (Upcoming): Set to enhance PCBA capabilities with two new lines.

These facilities collectively provide a robust platform for delivering tailored manufacturing solutions across different regions, ensuring resilience and adaptability in an ever-changing geopolitical landscape. Additionally, the facilities further strengthen the company’s global reputation as well as its financial stability.

For the past 20 years, SPM’s successful customer engagements and industry knowledge have spoken for themselves. “Our financial stability is reflected in our revenue growth, which is projected to continue growing through 2024,” added Tan. “Also, our diverse client base spans across Asia, Europe, and the United States, with significant contributions from the industrial (53%), medical (31%), automotive (7%), and trading (9%) sectors.”

The company’s commitment to excellence has been recognized through various awards, including Best Supplier Quality Performance from several esteemed clients like Ametek Group’s Rauland, Siemens Healthineers, and Amphenol Group’s CASCO Automotive.
