REDCOM EMS Installs New High-Speed Production Line at New York Facility
June 20, 2019 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
REDCOM EMS, a business unit of REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., has announced the successful installation of a new high-speed production line at its manufacturing facility in Victor, New York. The expanded manufacturing capacity is necessary to keep up with REDCOM EMS's sustained double-digit growth over the past few years. With the added equipment and capabilities, REDCOM EMS will be better positioned to meet the demands of both current and new customers.
REDCOM began offering electronics manufacturing services out of the company's headquarters in 2012 under the REDCOM EMS name. Before starting the contract manufacturing business, REDCOM used its factory solely for the production of its telephony hardware. REDCOM EMS continues to manufacture circuit boards, cable assemblies, and system assemblies for REDCOM's telecommunications systems, but the vast majority of its business now comes from contract manufacturing for other OEMs.
The REDCOM EMS factory previously had three SMT lines—two low volume and one high volume—inserting around 50,000 components per hour. With the addition of the new high-speed line and their commitment to workforce development, REDCOM EMS will triple these numbers, while also enabling redundancy in the manufacturing line.
"With the growth that we've seen in the last couple of years, we knew it was time to invest in our manufacturing facility. This new equipment will allow us to meet our customer's demands today while preparing us for future opportunities," remarked Steve Husband, Vice President of Manufacturing, REDCOM and General Manager, REDCOM EMS. "We believe our new equipment will allow us to boost our production volumes by as much as 3x, which is critical as we expand into new markets such as aerospace and medical."
Other new additions to the REDCOM EMS manufacturing facility include a high-precision conformal coating machine, an aqueous board wash system, new ESD flooring, a humidification system, and all necessary peripheral equipment for an advanced technology SMT line. The company also invested in a high-end 3D printer, allowing REDCOM EMS to quickly build prototypes, fixtures, and small quantity parts. REDCOM EMS was able to make this investment in equipment with the help of Empire State Development, which facilitated the company's modernization effort with funding of up to $300,000.
"After more than 41 years in business, REDCOM is stronger than ever," said REDCOM CEO Dinah Weisberg. "We are excited about the projected growth we see for our contract manufacturing business, and we look forward to contributing to the upstate NY economy as we continue to expand our electronics manufacturing capabilities."
