March 10, 2026
High-mix, low-volume production has long been one of the most complex operational environments in the EMS industry. Short production runs, high product variability, frequent changeovers and constant time pressure mean that factories operate in a state of near-constant adaptation. At the same time, customer expectations for quality and flexibility continue to rise, while the availability of skilled labour remains limited. In such conditions, manufacturing ceases to be a collection of independent processes — it becomes a system in which every change carries wider operational consequences.

Switzerland_1

February 19, 2026
Switzerland is regularly described as one of the world’s most innovative economies. In the Global Innovation Index, the country has repeatedly ranked first, ahead of much larger industrial nations. This position reflects a combination of high R&D intensity, strong patent activity and a dense network of research-performing companies. Yet these aggregate indicators say relatively little about how innovation is structured in practice, and even less about the position of electronics within the Swiss economy.
