- plastics moulding;
- chemical manufacture;
- industrial laminate production;
- metal fabrication, forging, casting and machining;
- manufacture of electronic components (passive devices, discrete semiconductors, monolithic and hybrid microcircuits);
- and of course, high end electronic systems design and assembly.
