After nearly thirty years at 67 Ayer Rajah Crescent, an industrial building located in the south west of Singapore, CMI was offered the opportunity to relocate further out west in a new building dedicated to the medical technology industry.

After three decades at Ayer Rajah Crescent, we are proud to announce that we will be moving our manufacturing ten kilometers westwards to the JTC MedTech Hub, 2 Tukang Innovation Grove #06-02 Singapore 618305.

This move wouldn't be possible without the continued support and loyalty of our customers and partners. We are deeply grateful for these relationships and thank you in advance for your cooperation and support during this transition.

In the 80's and 90's traditional Singaporean SME's (Small and Medium Enterprises) were highly dependent upon their large OEMs customers. After declaring its independence in 1965, Singapore, which had no natural resources, chose to turn to foreign companies as vehicles to achieve industrial growth and create jobs. The government of Lee Kuan Yew provided industrial infrastructure, peaceful employer-employee relations, a well educated workforce, low taxes and a logistic hub.

Hawker centers are a unique specialty of Singapore. They are large open areas with a wide variety of small stalls selling affordable cooked food. Many of my Singaporeans friends hardly cook at home as they enjoy walking down to the hawker center at dinner time. Besides offering affordable and diverse dishes, hawker centers also serve as a social link between the multicultural communities of Singapore.

One would think that with all these new digital printing techniques, screen printing will soon become obsolete. However, at CMI, we’ve identified screen printing as the leading technology for printed electronics.

We have barely taken down the Christmas Tree and before we know it we will be celebrating Chinese New Year here in Singapore.

We would not be the company we are today without the robust support of our customers and industry partners. We would like to start the new year by expressing our sincere gratitude to all of you!

In the manufacturing of Printed Circuit Board, through hole plating remains a complex operation. It involves wet chemical processes including deposition of metals by metallization and electroplating techniques. Although direct metallization has contributed to reduce the number of steps and chemicals involved in the process, it is still the source of a lot of anguish among the engineering community.

In the PCB industries, electronics soldering involves high temperature 250°C melting a soldering filler material, then making joints between the surface mount components & the board.
