SMTC is a global leader among mid-sized providers of end-to-end electronics manufacturing services (EMS) that partners with global original equipment manufacturers and emerging technology companies, including those in the avionics, aerospace and defense, industrial Internet of Things, power and clean technology, medical and safety, retail and payment systems, semiconductors, telecom, networking and communications and test and measurement industries.
