SUNNYVALE, CA: HCL Technologies Ltd (HCL), a global engineering, R&D, IT services and business process outsourcing firm, and Celestica Inc., electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company, has formed a joint venture to provide complete concept-to-manufacturing (C2M) solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

First joint venture of this kind in electronics industry will provide a fully integrated product lifecycle solution to OEM customers – including product concept, design, engineering, manufacturing, fulfillment, sustaining engineering, reverse logistics and after-market services. HCL’s broad and scalable design engineering capabilities combined with Celestica’s existing strengths in hardware design for manufacturability and supply chain integration create an exciting new alternative for OEMs seeking time-to-market and total cost advantages, a HCL statement said.
