The Benchmark Precision Technologies location in Penang, Malaysia, is not your average contract manufacturing partner. We offer more capabilities in one location than any other contract manufacturer (CM) in the region. At our Penang, Malaysia site, we specialize in producing complex top-level assemblies for some of the most demanding customers in the industrial, commercial aerospace, and semiconductor capital equipment industries. Raw material comes in one end of the factory, and complex mechatronic assemblies ship from the other end.
Deep Vertical Integration and On-Campus Capabilities
Benchmark Precision Technologies Penang specializes in the manufacture of close tolerance components and integration into complex top level assemblies, varying in size from small benchtop units to large footprints weighing in at five tons.
Implementing an outsourcing strategy with a CM can be fraught with challenges. One of the significant challenges is to do so without expanding the supply chain to unmanageable levels. Benchmark Penang offers the ability to implement an outsourcing strategy as a Tier 1 CM that streamlines the supply chain into a single location. Instead of multiple suppliers across commodities, we perform these processes in-house, eliminating many of the challenges that come with an outsourcing strategy.

Collaboration, Innovation, and Faster Time to Market
With Benchmark, you're not just a customer, you're a partner, and we foster a truly collaborative relationship. We work with our customers across the complete product lifecycle, from concept to supply chain and delivery.
A real-world example of this involved a customer that needed to re-source a vital component used to cool equipment in their manufacturing process. The customer had existing units but did not possess any other technical data. Our Penang team performed a deep dive with the customer. We discovered several components near end of life (EOL), or with design for excellence (DFX), and design for manufacturing (DFM) issues that needed to be resolved. Working closely with the customer, the team re-designed the unit to maintain functionality and interchangeability, eliminate component issues, simplify the manufacturing processes, and implement lean manufacturing methods. These efforts, coupled with the utilization of Benchmark Penang's extensive vertically integrated capabilities, translated to a significantly improved supply chain, delivery, and cost to the customer.
