Business Wire, Sept 18, 2008

Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Romanian Electronics Manufacturing Market on Thursday, 25 September 2008 at 15.00 BST

LONDON -- Frost & & Sullivan will host a free telephone and web briefing on Thursday, 25 September 2008 at 15.00 BST to provide industry participants with an overview of Romanian Electronics Manufacturing Market.

Romania is one of the fastest growing markets for electronics manufacturing in Eastern Europe. This trend has largely been driven by the fact that Romania offers one of the cheapest labour rates among EU nations therefore attracting key manufacturers to the country, especially in EMS segment. Advent of Auto-electronic OEMs into the Romanian market has also been instrumental in creation of new prospects for outsourcing and capital expenditure. EMS players as well as SMT suppliers are expanding their presence in this region to cash in on the lucrative opportunities that the Romanian market offers in the coming years.

This briefing is based upon Romanian Electronics Manufacturing Market analysis. Highlights of the briefing include macroeconomic analysis, separate market segment analysis for OEM, EMS and ODM markets, revenue forecasts for the market segments, and also 360 degree view of the market from the supplier and the end user perspective.

This briefing will benefit SMT equipment suppliers, electronic component manufacturers, OEMs, EMS companies as well as ODMs apart from distributors of SMT equipment and electronics components by discussing emerging trends and the dynamics of the market.

"Operating in Romania is considered by many EMS executives as being equivalent to operating in China in terms of the total landed costs. Further, proximity to Western European markets and shorter supply chains have made Romania an irresistible location for EMS players," observes Harish Natesan, Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan's Electronics & Security group.
