www.us-tech.com PPI-Time Zero Opens New England EMS Facility
Norwood, MA — PPI-Time Zero recently com- pleted a state-of-the-art facility in Norwood, Massachusetts, and celebrated its grand opening earlier this year. The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by representatives from the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce, state and local officials, regional customers, and PPI’s executive and equity staff. The facility further strengthens PPI’s com-
mitment to its New England customer base. It is strategically located within a hub of medical OEMs, which is expected to contribute to growth in the company’s medical service channel. PPI-Time Zero is an AS9100/ISO-13485/
ISO-9001 EMS company with locations in Nor- wood, Massachusetts, Fairfield, New Jersey and Waynesboro, Virginia, de- livering design services, high-quality circuit card assemblies, subassem- blies and systems integration to the global marketplace. The company is experiencing a
significant increase in its engineering design service offering as OEMs pur- sue an outsourcing strategy that in- cludes electromechanical design and layout solutions. With this strategy, OEMs are reducing their overall costs as they shift from fixed costs to vari- able. PPI-Time Zero continues to de- velop key strategic partnerships as customers embrace its vertical design, manufacturing and test solutions.
