E346021       UK      |    Romania    |   Hong Kong   + 44 ( 0 ) 1256 461894 Copyright EC Electronics Limited 2010 News February 2011 February 23rd 2011   EC Electronics announces the formation of EC Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, a new operating company and wholly owned subsidiary based in Hong Kong. EC Electronics, the specialist Electronic Manufacturing Services provider with factories in Basingstoke, UK and Petrosani, Romania, has expanded its operation in Asia, with the opening of a new company, EC Supply Chain Solutions Ltd, based in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong based company will be headed by Chris Brown, who, as part of his 15 years experience in the EMS industry, has gained a great deal of local market knowledge, having lived and worked in Asia for the past 5 years. The primary function of the new business will be to facilitate and develop EC’s existing supply chain for electronic components, products and assembly services available from Asian and Chinese based suppliers. The new business offers EC’s clients a managed supply chain solution from Asia. It allows UK and European customers to take advantage of the economic benefits of offshore Asian supply, but minimising the associated risks. Tony Mount, EC ‘s Group Operations Director comments: ‘ Having our own company registered in Hong Kong along with local representation, provides greater focus and support for our Asian and Chinese supply chain arrangements. This development demonstrates our commitment to provide our clients, whether they are based in the UK, Europe or world wide, with access to the most competitive supply chain arrangements currently available. We see China, in particular, as a prime location for access to almost unlimited manufacturing capacity for our customers. It is a significant focus for EC and we will continue to develop our Asian operation from Hong Kong. I am very pleased that Chris brown has joined us in the capacity of Asia Supply Chain Manager. Chris’s knowledge and experience, together with his boundless enthusiasm, will, I have no doubt, be a significant contributory factor in the success of this operation.’ Hong Kong’s location in Southern China is a key factor for EC and many other businesses looking to develop trade in Asia. It is a few hours flight from major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul and Singapore. It is bordered by the Schenzen Special Economic Zone to the North and has a total area of some 1,100 square kilometres.
