Season Group signs MoU with Outsource Electronics Limited

Commenting on the MoU Carl Hung, Vice President for Season Group said: “Through our partnership with Outsource Electronics we are now able to offer a significantly enhanced global service to our UK customers. Customers can gain significant benefits by utilising our vertically integrated, high capability facilities in Asia and North America. Meanwhile, our international customers can also take advantage of local UK manufacture and After Market Services previously unavailable to them.

“There are many reasons why Outsource Electronics is the best option for us. Most importantly, their management team has the same “open” approach to business that Season believes customers prefer. However, the commonality of SMT equipment, ERP system, strong turnkey material capability and the scale to manage large, complex projects were also key factors in our decision to work closely with Outsource Electronics.”

Chris Coldbreath, Managing Director of Outsource Electronics added: We believe that this relationship with Season will be of benefit to a number of our current customers as well as attracting new business from clients that require both the services delivered by Outsource Electronics and those of Season. It is also a big step forward in our strategy of developing a range of options that will meet the needs of all of our current and potential customers.
