Flexible printed circuit manufacturing with digital factory transition
First Sumiden Circuits manufactures flexible printed circuits (FPC) and surface-mount technology (SMT) assemblies from Laguna, Philippines, serving mid-market OEMs across Asia-Pacific. The tech stack—AutoCAD, Minitab, PLC, SQL, Power BI, Grafana, and Ignition—reflects a manufacturing operation transitioning toward data-driven production; active projects around smart-factory solutions and advanced dashboards signal investment in real-time visibility over legacy batch reporting. Hiring velocity is decelerating but remains concentrated in manufacturing and engineering, indicating sustained operational scaling rather than new-market expansion.
First Sumiden Circuits manufactures flexible printed circuits and SMT assemblies. The company operates as a fully owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI, a Japanese conglomerate) and is headquartered in Cabuyao City, Laguna, Philippines, where it has been operational since March 1996. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees across manufacturing, engineering, finance, logistics, HR, operations, and construction teams. Core operational priorities center on cost control, yield improvement, downtime reduction, and compliance with regional regulations—typical drivers for discrete manufacturers in high-labor-cost Asian markets seeking automation ROI.
AutoCAD for design, PLC and Ignition for production control, Minitab and SPC for quality, and Power BI/Grafana for dashboards. Active projects include smart-factory digital solutions and advanced software dashboards for real-time visibility.
Cost control, waste reduction, quality and yield improvement, downtime minimization, turnaround-time reduction, and compliance. Current projects focus on equipment upgrades, testing of modified machines, and new product introduction engineering.
