28.04.2006
Integrated Microelectronics Inc. (IMI), a Philippine-based electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, announced Thursday a partnership with German player BuS Elektronik GmBH & Co. KG. IMI expects the alliance to help improve its business in the European electronics market.

In a statement, IMI said it will jointly seek with BuS Elektronik subcontracting projects from European OEMs. It will also utilize the latter's facility in Riesa, Germany for prototyping products and low-volume manufacturing requirements of its customers in Europe.

'This partnership offers a win-win opportunity for both parties. IMI's facilities in China, the Philippines, and Singapore can service the customers of BuS who want to develop, produce, or sell their electronics products in Asia,' said IMI president and CEO Arthur Tan.
