Don’t be fooled by the name. Plexus Manufacturing may seem like it’s strictly a manufacturer. But manufacturing is proving to be a rapidly evolving industry, and the company, which has had a focus in engineering professional services since the beginning, is ensuring it keeps pace with these changes by continuing to diversify its capabilities.
Plexus has 40 years of experience behind it, and from its headquarters in Wisconsin, US, manages a global network of more than 19,000 employees, with locations scattered across North America, Europe and Asia. Its Asia–Pacific presence accounts for around half of the company’s revenue.
The business works across four market sectors: healthcare and life sciences; industrial and commercial; aerospace and defence; and communications. Its strength is high-quality manufacturing in each of these sectors, and given that any decline in safety or quality can cost lives in areas such as health care or aerospace, the company’s commitment to the products it designs and builds is crucial.
Across these sectors, manufacturing is naturally the most visible of its services, but Plexus pledges its commitment to the entire product realisation process. Beyond manufacturing, it also provides supply chain solutions; testing, logistics and aftermarket services; and – thanks to a global team of more than 500 engineering experts – complex product design and development services. Today, Plexus presents itself as a comprehensive solutions provider, which represents a shift from the past.
