With a staff strength of  more than a 1000 across the globe and 30,000 business customers, eSys, headquartered in Singapore is also the largest hard disk drive distribution company with 20% market share globally.  All the manufacturing facilities of eSys, including the new one in Singapore, are integrated with itsRegional supply chain (warehousing) hubs, enabling it to have lower inventory holding costs and a shorter time to market.

eSys’ comprehensive facilities offer full range of services including kitting, assembly, software loading and logistics. Currently the manufacturing facility in Singapore has four lines with production capacity of 1.5 million units per annum expandable to three million units per annum. eSys has developed proprietary software which minimizes human intervention in manufacturing, testing and Quality control. Many activities including testing and OS Loading are done automatically. eSys shifted its production base from China to Singapore in 2004 when Mr. Vikas Goel, realized that it would be an economically viable idea. ”It was again about thinking out of the box and making your calculations. If you take into perspective all direct and indirect costs, setting the production base in Singapore works out to be at least 40 per cent cheaper for us than being headquartered in China. The common mindset among most people is that Singapore is expensive and China is cheap. But in this case, utilizing Singapore as a hub for our global manufacturing has proved to be a dramatic cost cutting measure.”
