CMP Media Launches Electronics Supply & Manufacturing

Posted on April 16, 2004

CMP Media has announced publication of the first issue of Electronics Supply & Manufacturing, a new monthly magazine that provides global coverage of market trends, best practices and case studies, with action plans to help managers at Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers across the electronics industry improve business performance. The magazine will serve the information needs of 40,000 OEM and EMS managers with practical insight on how to manage their business, supply base, supply chain, design chain and manufacturing strategies. Electronics Supply & Manufacturing is written for managers with global influence in all industry segments and across all sizes of companies -- emerging, mid-tier and large organizations, with a focus on the mid-tier.

"Early advertiser support for Electronics Supply & Manufacturing and its dedicated website, www.my-esm.com, confirms that the magazine is well positioned to fill the information needs of a key group of companies in a rapidly changing industry," said Paul Miller, vice president/group publisher, CMP Electronics Group. "We're delighted with the early positive feedback and industry support. Electronics Supply & Manufacturing transforms the publishing landscape within the electronics industry -- it supplies unique editorial content not available in any other industry information resource."

my-esm.com, and a biweekly email newsletter debuted February 15, 2004. Both the website and the magazine cover five major topics of interest to electronics industry managers: supply chain management, supply base management, design chain management, manufacturing management and business management. The opt-in email newsletter provides feature-article summaries with links to the full stories.

"The global electronics market has reached an annual valuation of more than $1 trillion," said Bruce Rayner, editor-in-chief. "While this creates huge opportunities, it also creates significant challenges for managers who must navigate today's product development and supply chain network. Electronics Supply & Manufacturing provides practical, 'actionable' information that will help these managers compete and succeed in today's competitive market environment."
