C
hoosing the right partner to outsource the manufacturing of your test and measurement
products is one of the most important decisions you will make, and will ultimately be a deciding factor on the overall success of your project. Whether it be migrating legacy products for outsourced manufacture, or assisting in the launch of a new product introduction, Vanilla has a proven solution that will benefit your business. Since Vanilla Electronics began in 2002,
the company has gone from strength to strength, keeping ahead of the competition through constant investment in technology, knowledge and expertise, as well as a highly entrepreneurial approach to the business. Vanilla now provides a full end-to-end
supply chain management service for its customers, from fast turnaround prototyping, complex PCB assembly, to full box build and end customer fulfilment, product returns, warranty, repair and re-supply.
Shipping over a million parts per day
from its 25,000 square foot distribution centre, with automated warehousing and advanced optical inspection equipment, Vanilla supports its customers to consolidate their typically complex supply chain, leading to operational and financial benefits and longevity in the relationships. The company’s customers are typically
high-end technology manufacturers working in sectors from aerospace, oil and gas, test and measurement to healthcare. Some just utilise Vanilla’s material kitting services, whilst others expand to its manufacturing solutions or even a combination of both- with a kitted service of sub-assembled products, ready for final assembly at the customer’s site. It is a truly customisable service. By offering both an inhouse and audited
outsourced manufacturing base, Vanilla can also provide a service that is fully scalable, from prototype to full volume production, matching a solution for all complexities and volumes throughout the product lifecycle.
From conceptual design, material procurement, kitting, manufacturing, through to end- customer order fulfilment, product returns, warranty, repair and re-supply, Vanilla Electronics offers a variety of solutions to its customers including:
Supply chain Services Product Kitting Tail-end spend management Obsolescence management 3rd party logistics
Manufacturing PCB Assembly Cable assembly Rapid prototyping PCB design and development Box build Test development
8 The company works to improve the overall
efficiency and working capital of its customers’ operations by enabling them to focus on their core competencies, that being R&D and Sales & Marketing. Vanilla’s flexible and strategic approach will free-up teams enabling customers to redirect their resources into growing their business, whilst Vanilla focuses on the rest. Vanilla has built up a strong global network
of proven, audited manufacturing sites, as well as its own, that are inspected regularly to ensure they are working to the same high standards that the company holds itself to. Vanilla’s ability to successfully manage outsourcing means that it is not restricted by its own physical space or capability, opening up lots of opportunities for growth and shared knowledge. The company is also very excited to be
on track to acquire a considerable contract manufacturing facility in Cambridge as Vanilla’s UK Centre of Excellence. Please check the company’s social media pages and press releases for news on this new facility in the coming weeks. To discuss how Vanilla can help you with
