Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) is a term used for companies that design, manufacture, test, distribute, and provide return/repair services for electronic components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The concept is also referred to as electronics contract manufacturing (ECM).[1]
Many consumer electronics are built in China, due to maintenance cost, availability of materials, and speed as opposed to other countries such as the United States.[2] Cities such as Shenzhen and Penang have become important production centres for the industry, attracting many consumer electronics companies such as Apple Inc.[3] Some companies such as Flex and Wistron are original design manufacturers and providers of electronics manufacturing services.
