What Does It Take to Build
the Future? Continued from page 19
Facetvision (www.facet
vision.de), a re- search and development project of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Op- tics and Precision Engineering — fi- nanced by the Fraunhofer Future Foundation — is working with the company’s engineers on next-genera- tion imaging solutions. Researchers have studied the multi-aperture lens- es of various insects to design minia- ture camera modules that can be pro- duced cost-effectively in high volume. Jabil’s partnerships with these and other researchers are aimed at meet- ing market demands for smaller and more sophisticated consumer electron- ic devices, machine vision, and med- ical and sensing applications.

Industries Inc., SONIX, Akro - metrix, AIM Specialty, APE, AVIO, AIT, IMI, Earthtronics, SEIT and many more. “Cus- tomers everywhere particularly value our service of assisting in the development of new prod- ucts,” said Eggelaar. “We focus on reducing potential problems during production and making testing as simple and easy as possible,” he added. Microtronic finished an out-
standing year in 2012, booking orders that exceeded initial ex- pectations and expanding its workforce by 30 percent. In 2013, the company has increased busi-

As Eggelaar notes: “We had a big and successful presence at the SMT Hybrid Packaging Show and look forward to the rest of the year. We anticipate even larger growth by the end of 2013.”

tions, but has selectively made acqui- sitions over the years to complement its service offerings. As an example, this July (2013), Jabil completed its acquisition of Nypro, a supplier of precision plastic products for cus- tomers in the healthcare, packaging, and consumer electronics industries. The new combined entity provides long-term solutions for both Jabil and Nypro customers. The acquisition leaves the com-
pany well positioned as the only full- service healthcare manufacturer in consumer packaging and disposable products. By combining Jabil’s experi- ence in electronics and optics and Nypro’s 40 years experience in health- care and consumable goods, the result is a business well suited to compete in the $140 billion plastic packaging market. Courtney Ryan, Jabil’s execu- tive vice president of global business units, is excited about the possibilities: “Through the combination of the two companies, we can deliver to cus- tomers more than what either compa- ny can deliver individually.” As Jabil grows its strategic glob-
al footprint, it remains loyal to its humble roots. Empowering smart, self-directed entrepreneurial teams around the globe with a sharp eye on where markets and technology are heading, Jabil provides innovative, cost-effective solutions for its cus- tomers. By creating partnerships that make sense and acquiring complemen- tary businesses when necessary, Jabil is helping to shape the future. Contact: Jabil, 10560 Dr. Martin
