Quick: Name the best-performing publicly held EMS company. Jabil? Not anymore. Benchmark. Wrong again. Flextronics? Not even close.
That would be Plexus.
The 28-year-old EMS company has shown gross margins of 10.9% over the past three years and a compound annual growth rate of 14.4%. This despite having what in some circles would be considered excessive overhead: too many engineers and a footprint heavy on North American operations.
I've always heard good things about Plexus, but I haven't worked with them. I have worked with another WI-based electronics assembly company, Pensar, and they are the best company I've ever seen when it comes to being flexible on prototype builds. BTW, they're busier than ever these days, despite the economic slowdown in other industries.
Maybe the secret ingredient for these companies is lots of hard-working Wisconsin employees.
