SIIX is a global company that provides one-stop services centered on EMS. It has manufacturing sites in 14 countries and approximately 50 sales locations worldwide, and specializes in high-value-added fields such as automotive equipment. By providing a full range of services, including component procurement, logistics and maintenance, the company serves customers across a diverse range of industries.
The company was founded in 1957 as the trading division of 阪田商会, spun off as Sakata Inx International in 1992, and renamed SIIX in 1998. It was listed on the Second Section of the Osaka Securities Exchange in 1999 and the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2000, and was designated for the First Sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Osaka Securities Exchange in 2005.
In the EMS industry, EMS providers are contracted to undertake manufacturing processes ranging from component procurement to assembly, inspection and logistics, and in some cases after-sales services. SIIX has particular strengths in projects requiring high quality, such as automotive and industrial equipment. Against a backdrop of increased outsourcing and labor shortages, the company is strengthening its overseas production subsidiaries, upgrading its production technology and expanding its domestic and international network.
Under its next medium-term management plan, the company intends to promote diversification and, over the long term, monetize its CDMO business for biopharmaceutical antibody drugs. Its stated policy is to address demand in the machinery and electronic equipment markets, where manufacturing outsourcing is advancing.
