AWS Group, one of the UK's leading specialist Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers, will demonstrate its full versatility to visitors at the National Electronics Week exhibition, Earls Court 2, 17th – 19th June 2008. The group now includes a number of complimentary businesses that combine to address the total market for EMS services - from design through manufacture, to contract service and repair.

AWS Cemgraft (Newbury) excels in surface mount technology and rapid prototyping. AWS Electronics’ two sites (Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stone) handle complex unit assembly build and have also just been awarded AS9100 for the PCB Surface Mount assembly area and cable/harness division. AWS Jantec (Bedford) specialises in repairs and service. Supporting this is a low cost production facility in Slovakia that is managed from the UK.

AWS Group is now one of the largest independent EMS providers in the UK and is keen to show customers why it has become so successful. Recently the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) named AWS as “the leading supplier in its SC21 change program which is designed to accelerate the competitiveness of the UK’s Aerospace & Defence industry by raising the performance of its supply chains.

Comments CEO, Paul Deehan: “This will be the first exhibition where we will have demonstrated our full Group capabilities. We embrace initiatives such as SC21 to drive our continuous improvement programmes, and we have enhanced our certifications even further with accreditation to AS9100 and ISO 14001 as positive moves rather than necessary evils. In this way we remain in tune with our customers and ahead of our competition. Our next target is to achieve J STD 001 accreditation. We welcome visitors to the NEW exhibition and look forward to discussing their requirements.”
