Q: What is contract electronic manufacturing?

A:  Contract Electronic Manufacturing (CEM) refers to the outsourcing of electronics manufacturing services to a third-party company. CEM companies provide a range of services including design, prototyping, testing, and assembly of electronic components and products. These services are typically used by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who may not have the resources or expertise to manufacture their own products. CEM can be cost-effective and allow companies to focus on their core competencies while outsourcing non-core activities to specialized partners.
