From the TTM Technologies prospectus:
>We provide time-critical, one-stop manufacturing services for highly complex printed circuit boards. Our printed circuit boards serve as the foundation of electronic products such as routers, switches, servers, computer memory modules and communications infrastructure equipment. Our customers include manufacturers of these electronic products, commonly referred to as original equipment manufacturers, and their suppliers, commonly referred to as electronic manufacturing services companies. Our customers primarily serve such rapidly growing segments of the electronics industry as networking, high-end computing, including servers, and computer peripherals. Products within these markets have high levels of complexity and short life cycles as manufacturers continually develop new and increasingly sophisticated technology.
Our name, TTM, stands for ‘‘time-to-market’’ because our services enable our customers to shorten the time required to develop new products and introduce them to market. We provide our customers with a manufacturing solution that encompasses all stages of an electronic product’s life cycle. We utilize a facility specialization strategy in which we place each order in the facility best suited for the customer’s particular delivery time and volume needs. These facilities are integrated by using compatible technology and manufacturing processes. Our strategy allows us to optimize our manufacturing operations and provides for efficient movement of orders among facilities resulting in faster delivery times and enhanced product quality and consistency. |
