Poland is becoming a more and more popular destination for electronics manufacturing outsourcing. The EU grants for entrepreneurs, collaboration between the educational system and industry, decades of presence on the market combined with reasonable prices are raising the attractiveness of Polish service providers giving them the edge over their foreign competitors.
Reliable supply chain
For quite a long time the offer of Asian and specifically Chinese electronic manufacturing service companies (EMS) seemed to be ideal for outsourcing due to the low costs of labour.
Yet, the gradual improvement in work conditions is making overseas outsourcing less and less profitable. On top of that, the world’s pandemic has proved an overgrown supply chain might not be resistant to extreme social and economic situations. The spread of the highly contagious disease turned out to be a serious obstacle for the manufacturing facilities relying on distant EMS providers.
Meeting new requirements for EMS
The industry of electronic manufacturing is constantly evolving resulting in new standards that are not always met by Asian market giants. On the contrary, Polish EMS providers are very sensitive to new trends as this is one of the major ways they can attract new customers while being less flexible to reduce the prices for their services below a reasonable limit.
For example, EMS providers in Poland are very careful about intellectual property regulations, which ensures original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will not suffer from any violations. Another illustration is the eagerness of Polish electronics manufacturers to adopt the zero waste approach to production which is not only eco-friendly but also more financially optimised.
Finally, the ISO standards developed in Europe are widely used in Poland and Polish EMS providers are careful about maintaining their production according to the ISO requirements.

Conclusions
