Small Business Spotlight: New System Tackles Old Problems

摘要

How does a small capital equipment company operating in a small Italian town near the Slovenian border come up with large technological developments? "The richness of the company is our actual experience in PCB manufacturing," said New System founder and CEO Cesare Fumo. "The problems of manufacturing a PCB have been experienced directly. We've encountered these problems, we've experienced them...." Fumo has a factory floor understanding of these problems. He started New System together with his partner Jozef Vodopivec after spending many years running Spei Orion, a PCB facility 10 kilometers down the road. New System was born because Fumo grew frustrated with the costs and wasted time inherent in Spei Orion's electrical test process. "We were spending a lot of money setting up fixtures. When we started thinking about building machines, our idea was to find a solution that would cut down the time and cost of fixtures," he recalled.
