CMICRO-A Reliable EMS Partner Creating
Next-Generation Electronic Components for
Factory Automation

Industry is shifting from centralized, top-down, original product manufacturing towards the division of labour for increased business efficiency. In the midst of this trend, EMS companies play a significant role by providing OEMs with electronic manufacturing services in every area of electronics and digital device production. CMICRO is a rapidly growing EMS company producing next-generation electronic components, particularly industrial multimedia products, for factory automation.
We excel in both software and hardware for measurement, control and image processing components used in factory automation. Not only do we meet OEM demands for parts but we also participate as part of the manufacturing team in every aspect of development. This includes proposing solutions and designing new products as well as testing, manufacturing and quality control at partner factories throughout Japan. We have a proven track record of success as a business partner. We also have an impressive line up of original products and a solid structure for marketing, independent development, sales and distribution through which we supply our products to affiliated businesses and develop new ventures.
