EOS Power India
Vijay Gujarathi - CEO & Director
During the period of the 1970s, most of the large-scale manufacturing was managed through the in-house assembly. The modern outlook of Electronic Manufacturing came in the late 1970s.
In India, the EMS industry (Electronics Manufacturing Services) was controlled by the public sector, but the sweeping economic changes and economic liberalization paved the way for the entrance of private players in the domain.
India's electronics market currently is one of the largest in the world in terms of consumption and is expected to grow to approximately US$400 billion by 2020 from $69.6 billion in 2012, largely led by an upsurge in demand, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate of close to 25% over the period.
To reap the benefits of liberalization of the economy, EOS Power, formerly known as Celetronix Power India, was established by the Tandon Group in 1985. Later Celetronix acquired California based company EOS Inc. in early 2000.
Celetronix became part of Jabil Circuits acquisition to make way for Jabil to enter in India in 2006 and in 2007, Celetronix Power parted ways from Jabil Circuits to become EOS Power India which is today privately held by German investors.
Despite the past history of working in the EMS industry with Celetronix and Jabil, EOS Power does not classify itself as a typical EMS Company and does not compete with other major EMS Companies in India.
During the meltdown of 2009 which was a break or make the situation for EOS, EOS Power re-strategized and using their experience with EMS experience graduated from being a product manufacturer to a Total Solution Provider.
The services include design, manufacturing of power supplies and assembling of other PCBA assemblies, which goes along with the Power supplies. Also, additional magnetic, filter assemblies, Cable harness assemblies, Mechanicals or Plastics accessories are part of the total solution concept.
The firm kept strengthening upon VAEMS (Value Add Electronics Manufacturing services) keeping the core strength of Power supply design and manufacturing in focus as an integral part of the solutions.
Located in an SEZ, the firm offers full Supply chain solution to Customers, from product design to customer specifications, to component procurements, to Manufacturing and testing to customer specifications. The company deploys the Kanban, Kaizen and Poka-yoke concepts to ensure overall business efficiency.
Its overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is always monitored in the plant. EOS uses the highest quality standards to design and manufacture products for its medical and industrial American and European customers, combined with highly efficient manufacturing techniques, which is evident through the firm's Jabil past. (Unique combination!!)
EOS Power has been designing standard, modified and custom power solutions for the global market for over 28 years. Firm's business and design teams understand and implement unique electrical, mechanical and safety requirements into their standard and value-added power solutions.
The EOS Power product definition and design effort have resulted in a range of best in class standard power solutions which allow customers huge flexibility when making critical decisions on their choice of power source. Currently, EOS Power product range offers power solutions from 40 to 1000 watts with many unique footprints, power densities, and specifications.
The EOS standard power supply solutions are available in industry standard footprints such as 2 x 4 inches, 3 x 5 inches, 4 x 6 inches and the new 2 x 3 x 0.75 inches' format.
EOS Power offers end customer's standard specifications such as Class II product options and a BF rating (Body Floating) on higher power products which are not available from many alternate suppliers.
Adding these specifications to the standard high efficiency, high power density, and full medical approvals ensure that EOS is a leader in providing standard power solutions. All products are certified to global standards enabling them to meet the export standard requirements.
EOS Power offers a low barrier of access to modification capabilities and value-added engineering services. EOS understands and supports that not all end customer requirements will be satisfied by standard product alone.
EOS Power specializes in providing end customers a total power solution whether that is changing voltages, adding functionality, mechanical additions or manufacturing solutions.
Modifications and value-added power solutions are an EOS Power specialty. EOS has supplied non-standard solutions to global customers for over two decades.
EOS Power has dedicated resources which are available to design custom power supply designs according to customer specifications.
EOS Power`s concept is to offer a one-stop supply chain solution to help the customer to reduce logistics and coordination costs. The firm's unique 4 Stage Product design and release process ensures that Product Quality which is going to delight the customer is built-in while designing it.
The unique design and performance of the products provide significant cost savings and design flexibility compared to typical industry competitor products.
To reduce the Time to Market for the new products and Product Design Cycle time, the firm established a UL and NEMKO certified Regulatory Compliance Lab in its manufacturing premises.
Instead of competing with Chinese and Taiwanese companies, EOS conducted several types of research for Indian customers to find niche segments where product quality and reliability were more important than lower costs.
Today EOS Power sells approximately 30 % of its products in India compared to 0% in 2009. EOS Power is taking all the necessary steps, like high investment in R & D, advanced design and technology adoption so that the above factors do not become an obstacle in its path for further growth.
It is said that every failure opens the doors for new opportunities. It is the way how anybody looks at it as "failure" or the "opportunity." The great recession of 2009 impacted most of the small/medium scale electronics manufacturing industries.
The firm learned lessons like reduced dependability on few customers, not to limit the business to specific geographical areas.
Today EOS Power's Revenue model is nicely balanced with 40 % Exports to North America 30 % exports to Europe and 30 % Revenue from India and Asian Countries making EOS power to sustain any economic downturns in any major geography.
