Delivering service, excellence & premiere products

Michael Quirk

IBM Manager, SMT Manufacturing, IBM Austin
I have been an FES customer since 2008 and have performed many quality audits of FES and their suppliers. Their commitment to quality is evident at all levels of the factory and management. As an example, a particular quality detail that always impressed me is how FES sets their baseline incoming and outgoing inspection AQL at C=0, meaning any lot is rejected if one defect is found. This type of quality commitment demonstrates a true zero-defect philosophy with continual improvement being a “way of life” at FES.
Eugene Cho

Founder & CEO of Echo
FES was instrumental in helping Echo deliver our innovative product to market. Engaging early with our engineers, FES helped Echo design parts and assemblies to meet critical to function specs and challenging cost targets. The communication between teams was excellent. FES was and continues to be flexible and responsive to our needs. FES has been able to keep pace with our huge growth in the Thailand and China factories. I highly recommend FES as a CM and JDM partner!
