Complex Equipment Supplier Guide by SPRING Singapore and

FOREWORD
SPRING Singapore
Most of the technological benefits of our lives
today are enabled by the output of Complex
Equipment. These highly integrated electromechanical
systems include Semiconductor
Manufacturing Equipment, Machine Tools,
Data Storage Systems and Scientific Test/
Measurement Equipment.
The global Complex Equipment Industry has
been growing significantly as a result of an
expanding market for electronic appliances,
coupled with an increase in the complexity
of electronic configurations. Constant “costdown”
pressure as well as the need to be near
customers - Asia is the fastest growing market
for electronics, has resulted in a surge of outsourcing
activities to Asia. This presents good
growth opportunities for our small and medium
enterprises (SMEs), providing supporting
services to the Complex Equipment Industry.
We have a good base of Precision Engineering
SMEs providing such support – precision
machining, sheet metal fabrication, secondary
processes, system integration, etc. This
guide showcases the comprehensive range
of products, services and capabilities being
offered by Singapore SMEs.

To stay ahead of the competitive market,
our SMEs have been investing continuously
to build up core business capabilities for
sustainability and expansion. SPRING will
continue to work closely with key partners
from the public and private sectors to support
such upgrading efforts. Through these efforts,
our local SMEs can develop capabilities in
engineering and manufacturing services,
create new and innovative products and
processes, and offer more complete solutions
to their customers.
