To improve manufacturing quality at its facilities, the company will focus on assembling printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) at six sigma quality levels, combined with its patent-pending vPoke system.

The vPoke system is said to simplify the mechanical assembly and testing of a complex product into hundreds or thousands of steps using advanced computer systems to validate and verify each step.

Paramit sales and marketing vice-president Atul Jhalani said: "A more sophisticated and larger Penang facility will enable us to expand our proprietary processes into Asia, improve workflow and enhance our overall global capability for both current and new customers."

The company offers fully-integrated engineering, manufacturing and post-manufacturing services to medical device and instrument companies.
