September 28, 2009 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
LUTTERWORTH, U.K. and CHOMUTOV, Czech Republic — With electronics outsourcing increasingly being identified as a way to for OEMs to reduce risk and fix cost, recent growth at JJS Electronics Ltd. reinforces the optimism surrounding this industry. Now part of the Paragon Electronics Group, the EMS specialist has recently completed the first major phase of a seven-figure investment programme that has seen the arrival of a new logistics area, new people and new equipment shared between its facilities in Lutterworth and Chomutov.
The large-scale investment program began with the construction of a new office and factory layout at JJS’s U.K. facility. Featuring spacious new areas to optimise key business elements including customer account management, SMT production, test, mechanical assembly and logistics; the enhanced layout also includes new meeting and training rooms to support ongoing company growth. The enhanced logistics area incorporates new racking, automated handling and lifting equipment, and upgrades to the materials storage and direct ship areas at JJS’ Central European facility in the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, the Lutterworth facility also benefits from new recruits Frazer Hayton and John Giddins. Joining JJS in the role of SMT & planning manager, Hayton will develop the company’s manufacturing systems, processes, and resources to ensure optimization for customers globally. Quality manager Giddins will build on Hayton’s efforts to develop JJS’ quality systems and processes.
JJS also added equipment including a DEK Horizon 03i screen printer, a Mydata MYDX100 DX14 pick and place machine, two BTU Pyramaz 100A solder reflow ovens and a Goepel Opticom Advancedline CLX4M AOI system With the addition of the new Mydata SMT line, the facility now has three high-speed high-accuracy placement machines and can accommodate package styles such as 01005, 0201, 0402, QFP, QFN, ball grid array (BGA), microBGA, and chip scale packages (CSPs). The in-line AOI system will further improve throughput and quality.
