Electronics department gets an upgrade

We are delighted to announce a significant upgrade to our electronics workshop at Etman China, a manufacturing arm of Etman International ASA. This strategic enhancement aligns with Etman International’s vision for growth and expansion, particularly in the field of electronic products.

Recognising the immense potential in the USB product sector, unveiled through our participation in European exhibitions, we embarked on this ambitious upgrade to seize new business opportunities.

The comprehensive renovation of our new workshop took just under a month, with a substantial investment of over half a million euros in equipment and refurbishment. This investment has significantly boosted our production capabilities. Our new SMT (Surface Mount Technology) and DIP (Dual In-line Package) production lines increase our capacity 6-7 times and 2-3 times respectively.

Jan Tore Skårland, Etman International ASA CEO, said: “It’s not just an investment in equipment; it’s an investment in our future, enabling us to set new standards in innovation and quality. We’re now perfectly positioned to meet the growing demands of our industry and deliver exceptional value to our customers.”

This expansion not only enables us to handle larger orders with ease but also assures complete in-house production for sizable projects, ensuring the quality and timely delivery of our electronic products.

The workshop now boasts advanced SMT equipment and production lines, enhancing automation and efficiency. With the addition of AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) systems, automatic PCB loading and unloading, and ICT testing on the DIP line, we’ve significantly improved our yield rate and efficiency.

The introduction of ATE (Automated Test Equipment) for functional testing of USB devices, alongside automatic screwing machines and precision-controlled dispensers, has further elevated our production quality and reduced costs.

Moreover, the adoption of robot transport within the workshop streamlines our processes further, optimising efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

This upgrade propels Etman ahead of our competitors by achieving full production autonomy. Our ability to manage everything in-house from surface mount to assembly, injection moulding, and spray painting not only reduces additional costs associated with outsourcing but also ensures product consistency.

Additionally, we’ve enhanced our workshop environment, creating a brighter and more comfortable space for our employees, reflecting our commitment to both innovation and workplace well-being.

This upgrade is a testament to our commitment to growth and efficiency. With these enhancements, Etman is ready to stay competitive in the electronic manufacturing sector, offering unmatched quality, efficiency, and capacity. For more information, please visit etmaninternational.com
