Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

Cicor Continues to Grow, Doubles its Production Capacity for High Quality Electronics in Vietnam
September 26, 2022 | CicorEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Cicor Group takes another important step in the implementation of its growth strategy: The production capacities in Thuan An City (Vietnam) are significantly expanded to serve the increased demand of existing and newly acquired customers.
As part of its strategy, Cicor has been pursuing organic growth for years, resulting in a robust pipeline of new business. For example, Cicor was recently appointed as the first strategic supplier for electronics manufacturing by a major industrial technology manufacturer in the DACH region, leading to additional business as from 2023.
To realize above market growth, Cicor is expanding capacity at its Thuan An City (Vietnam) site. For this purpose, the Cicor Group is acquiring an established electronics production facility in the immediate vicinity of the existing Cicor factory and doubling its production space in the Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park 1, near Ho Chi Minh City, to around 14,000 square meters. At the same time, Cicor is strengthening the Vietnam site by establishing an engineering team that will work in close coordination with the R&D team at the Bronschhofen (Switzerland) site to meet the fast-growing customer demand for the development of high-quality electronics.
The investment volume in the mid-single-digit million Swiss franc range will be financed within the regular investment budget. The site is scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2022. This will give Cicor the capacity to realize annual sales of more than CHF 400 million including the acquired Axis Electronics (Bedford, UK) and SMT Elektronik (Dresden, Germany).
