"Success requires a wide selection of services and the right skills. Our design, manufacturing, supply chain management and after-sales services cover the entire life span of customers' products," says Vesa Keränen, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development at Elcoteq.

Elcoteq is well-known as a leading electronics manufacturing services company that specializes in communications technology products and customers. Its competitive edge is provided by specialization in communications, a global plant network and a selection of services that interlink smoothly.

"Understanding and predicting the needs of the customer, absolute confidentiality, efficient operations and top-class quality are of the utmost importance," Keränen emphasizes.

Efficient global network

Elcoteq expanded to Tallinn in 1992, which was the first step towards operating internationally. Today Elcoteq's global plant network with its uniform processes, equipment and systems operates in fifteen countries on four continents.

"Our plant network guarantees that we can start manufacturing a customer's product simultaneously in Europe, Asia and America or, if necessary, transfer production, machines or equipment flexibly, for example, from China to India, or Mexico to Hungary," Keränen explains.

"In order for the customer to obtain real added value from outsourcing his operations, we must be able to do our share better and more efficiently than the customer's own organization or our competitors."

From Elcoteq's perspective the market trends look good: outsourcing will continue, the end product markets will increase and customers will increasingly appreciate the operating model based on long-term cooperation.
