always putting quality first and being flexible to customer needs,” says Andy Salo, CEO. “We know that often we are the last link in the chain to get a product out in the market, so time is of the essence.” He added that East

Especially in the medical
industry, quality is a matter of life or death. Every assembly is carefully scrutinized.
West Manufacturing Enterprises us- es tier-one toolsets and methodolo- gies, while working hard to provide the customer with a tailored solution as their valued business partner.

terprises understands that today’s customers have challenges coming at them from all sides — component availability, obsolescence, marketing delays, and lack of communication from their CM. Salo says that often- times new customers come to East West, because their previous CMs were unreliable and did not communi- cate well. The company strives to al- ways be proactive in communication, while bringing solutions to the table as opposed to problems. In an industry full of contract
manufacturers, the company under- stands that it must differentiate itself from the competition. As a result, its team has built a reputation for opera- tional excellence and commitment to its customers’ needs and timelines. The company works collaboratively to create and implement specific supply chain requirements for every project. Through its experience with a wide range of complex PCB assemblies, box builds and electromechanical sys- tems, East West Manufacturing En- terprises has developed expertise in providing solutions that make it stand out as a “go to” business part- ner for its customers.
