MAN manufactures a wide range of electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical and electro-pneumatic control systems and assemblies through PP Control & Automation (PP C&A), who can design an outsourcing solution that delivers based on your specified requirements and strategies.
PP C&A has invested heavily in its own facility and specifically, in a dedicated environment adhering to the stringent demands of ESD (electro-static discharge). This dedicated and controlled environment has capacity for more complex and delicate builds, encompassing high-end PCB assemblies and box builds.
MAN Group offers full design and production capabilities. Build to print and DFM (Design for Manufacture) capabilities optimise both performance and cost and developing a strategic partnership with PP C&A reduces total acquisition costs and streamlines production with a full supply chain audit and transfer of ownership.
A contract electronics manufacturing service is a term used for the design, manufacture, test, and distribution of electronic components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The discipline often combines printed circuit board assemblies, wire harnesses, fabrication of enclosures, testing and more for an integration or ‘box build’ service.
Working with OEMs in many different markets, including food processing, packaging, printing, machine tool, medical, power generation and transport, PP C&A is able to provide high added-value solutions, which result in significant commercial and productivity benefits to customers.
This includes high levels of production automation resulting in unsurpassed levels of customer quality, Design for Manufacture (DFM) skills that result in significant bottom line customer benefits, and complete manufacturing solution that provides significant and tangible cost down opportunities.
As your outsourcing partner with a comprehensive set of manufacturing disciplines and connections, PP C&A will develop a strategy that builds in plenty of benefits.
An increasing number of OEMs are choosing strategic outsourcing as part of an overall production and supply chain strategy. Partnering with a strategic outsourcing arm allows you to delegate non-core activities and win back the time you need to focus on your core business competencies. Product innovation, research & development and sales & marketing to name but a few.
