Electronics & Component Manufacturing

A Growing Network in the LESMD Region

Electronics & Component Manufacturing is a broad subsector encompassing a number of categories. The industries supplied by this subsector are located both inside and outside the LESMD Region and range from aerospace to food and beverage processing. Among the categories represented in this subsector are:

• Wireless/Microwave Component Manufacturing
• Cable Crimp, Cable Harness Component Assembly and Manufacturing
• Transformer Manufacturing
• Circuit Board Printing and Manufacturing
• Integration and Manufacturing of Automated Systems

At the same time LESMD educational institutions have increasingly tailored their programs to provide this crucial subsector with a trained workforce. This is evidenced by the growing number of apprenticeships and overall greater coordination between the private sector and the entire education system from career & technical high schools to two year and four year institutions.
