I am from a small EMS company near Allentown PA. Allen Integrated
Assemblies, a subsidiary of Allen Organ Company. We make about 3000
boards a week, mixed technology SMT and through hole. I contribute
occasionally, listen mostly. I have been involved in contract
manufacturing for about nine years. We have been at it about 12 years.
We focus on companies with needs for electronic manufacturing but other
core business.

     Hi quarrrrraling netters,
     I have used this organization homepage for a couple of years
     now, and I'm pleased. However, I never can't  figure out what
     companies are
     representing the daily bread. Are they small, medium or big?
     Are the members backed up by the company they work on, or do
     they operate on their
     own? Just one reflection: I have never seen a sign of
     Solectron, one of the biggest,  with 36,000 employees,
     headquarter just in the middle of the nest
     (LA) , make some 15,000 panels every day!  And not one single
     word from them! Hellooo Solectron, where are you? Are you
     reading all these
     thousands of fact-studded mails but never give a sign
     yourself?

     Nothing special about Solectron, just an example. Still
     wondering what TechNet really is..... I give the advice to
     Steve, jk, Carey, Werner, Earl and
     all the gurus to keep silent in this case, maybe we will get a
     smoke signal from these missing, silent mastodonts? Say
     something Siemens, Alcatel,
     Samsung, Gold, Solectron, Mitsubishi or whatever you are.. if
     you read TechNet mails.
