AWS Electronics: A British Success Story

June 2005

AWS Electronics, a Contract Electronics Manufacturer (CEM), is celebrating its most successful trading year ever, having maintained 25% year-on-year growth for three years now since the industry’s low point after the twin shocks in 2001 of the dot.com bust and the Twin Towers terrorist attacks. Moreover, the company is not resting on its laurels but is actively planning, investing, training and recruiting to maintain these rates of growth for years to come.

Such growth can only come on solid foundations of excellent relationships with their clients, the majority of whom have been with AWS for over five years. Despite prevailing attitudes in the country, they fear little from Eastern European and Far Eastern competition as these cannot easily offer competing services. AWS engineering support is local, being in the same time zone, language and culture. Production and deliveries are very responsive to fluctuating customers’ demands, and the attitude of the entire workforce is can-do, problem solving and positive. The way in which the company is organised is designed to assure clients of dedicated, flexible and complete manufacturing services.

AWS has comprehensive and modern facilities for manufacturing PCB assemblies, electrical and electronic sub-assemblies and finished products, and cable and wiring harnesses for the military, aerospace, medical, rail and other demanding industries. The uniqueness of AWS, however, is in the value-added services that they offer, such as design and production engineering, parallel engineering with clients’ development teams, prototype manufacturing, kitting, line-side delivery, after-sales services such as repairs, refurbishment and upgrades, and obsolescence management.
