The success factor for businesses operating in the resource-and capital-intensive electronics industry is a reliable contract manufacturer with a wealth of experience in creating and testing a variety of electronic products and cutting-edge equipment, along with a vast network of component suppliers.

CAPE EMS BERHAD (or “CAPE”), a Malaysian contract manufacturer, delivers these and much more in the realm of electronics goods production. It specializes in turnkey, technologically advanced, custom-designed, box build consumer and industrial electronics products. It also provides end-to-end support services that include testing, packaging and direct shipping.

“We believe manufacturing is a service. This mindset helps address the specific needs of clients and ensure the successful launch of their products,” says Christina Tee Kim Chin, Managing Director and Group CEO of CAPE EMS BERHAD.

An ISO-certified electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, it specializes in producing a range of industrial electronic products, including wireless communication equipment, antenna devices, interface and gateway devices, microwave antennae, remote readers, transceivers, LED lighting products, digital vending machines, and portable printer power desks. Its consumer electronic product manufacturing portfolio includes household appliances, chiefly cordless vacuum cleaners. CAPE EMS BERHAD also excels at in-house aluminium die cast manufacturing to deliver high-quality products.

A large percentage of its customers are experienced and successful manufacturers operating across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the U.S. CAPE’s 30 years of expertise in electronics manufacturing ensures the fast and efficient production of high-quality products for these customers. It also helps clients reach wider markets through its well-organized distribution network.

The team of industry experts at CAPE is committed to enhancing the product capabilities of clients. Its top and middle management and skilled engineering and production teams are dedicated to solving every issue faced by clients during manufacturing or new technology adoption. It keeps them up-to-date with the latest industry trends to help deliver products that meet current consumer demands.

CAPE emphasizes building strong relationships with customers, with complete transparency and full collaboration. Prior to entering into a partnership, customers can assess its capabilities by conducting due diligence, verify its certifications, and inspect its factory equipment. CAPE has access to all relevant information to facilitate the best possible solution for client projects.

For effective execution of each project, a dedicated communication team is assigned, and includes executives from business development, engineering, finance, and a chief technology officer to support the customer’s needs and plan the capital expenditure. It also collaborates with external engineering experts and solution providers, and outsources specialized manufacturing orders to its subsidiaries, as needed.

CAPE’s manufacturing capabilities have earned it a vast, global customer base. Mimosa, a wireless broadband solutions provider and a casting supplier, wanted to transfer its manufacturing operations out of China. CAPE collaborated closely with Mimosa, quickly set up production lines, and delivered the products on time.

Later, Airspan, a leading vendor of 4G/5G wireless densification solutions, acquired Mimosa. Airspan asked CAPE to build temporary production and testing lines for its new 5G-enabled product while its contract manufacturer in Vietnam was readying its facility. Acknowledging the client’s request, CAPE successfully built and maintained the production lines for 18 months and manufactured the required products. It then transferred the production lines to Airspan’s contract manufacturer in Vietnam.

A year later, CAPE was again approached by Airspan to manufacture their products when Vietnam faced supply chain issues. It responded swiftly, delivering the required order on time while maintaining top quality, which earned it a permanent client in Airspan.

CAPE EMS BERHAD maintains the highest standard in technology, quality, environment and human capital to take client’s electronics products to greater heights. By successfully providing advanced manufacturing solutions and a strong distribution network around the globe, it is determined to actively shape a future where technology fosters growth.
