The meeting will convene an action team of
technology business leaders to support public/private initiatives
promoting Silicon Valley-based manufacturing
Bestronics will host the first annual Silicon Valley Agile
Manufacturing Economic Strategy meeting at its San Jose
headquarters on May 7, 2015. Identified as an important and
cutting-edge industry for the valley, agile manufacturing has been
targeted by the Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) of
the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce for expansion and
support.
Executives from Bestronics and other leading technology
companies will join officials from the City of San Jose and other
bay area agencies to convene an action team of business leaders to
identify actions focused on growing and supporting this dynamic
industry.
“This is a tangible step in the return of innovative
manufacturing to the Silicon Valley,” said Bestronics CEO Nat Mani.
“We are expecting the who’s who of local industry to attend. We’ll
invite them to share their successes and identify the obstacles
they’ve had in finding the right manufacturing support here.
Manufacturing is the other half of the art of product development.
Local collaboration with public agency support will ensure Silicon
Valley’s place as the world’s dominant technology producer.”
REDI is a multi-stakeholder public-private project which
launched in January 2015. The Agile Manufacturing meeting is one of
its first initiatives in its goal of growing Silicon Valley’s
economy by expanding the presence and prosperity of regional
companies as well as attracting new companies to the area.
Bestronics’ unique, collaborative partnership model provides
early-stage companies with new product introduction (NPI) expertise
using full-service manufacturing facilities in preparation for
launches, as well as cost optimization for legacy products which
require a lot of tribal knowledge and IP protection. “There’s no
longer a need to go offshore to manufacture these sensitive and
critical products,” said Mani. “Local companies like ours provide
both the variety of services and the manufacturing expertise
necessary to keep manufacturing here in Silicon Valley at both ends
of product life.”
