Incap plans to extend its design unit in India

Incap plans to extend its design operations in India, where it is currently designing customer products such as UPS products, inverters and power supplies.

Incap says, while actual product design operations are focused in India, all of Incap's plants will continue to provide product manufacturability design services. It is important, especially in the manufacture of mechanics and product packages, that design expertise is available in production for improving the manufacturability of products at the prototype and ramp-up stage.

Sami Mykkänen, the president and CEO of Incap Group: "The need for design services continues to increase. In India especially, many new customer accounts have been established through design projects. It is important in view of our customers' competitiveness that manufacturing cost can be reduced constantly. With this in mind, we also provide increasingly value engineering and product re-design services in order to cut down costs and reduce production turnaround times."

Though India is not favored by semiconductor chip manufacturing but is increasingly attracting investment in EMS, and other such electronics manufacturing and design services.
