The awards were presented to Sanmina executives by Mr. Ajay Prakash Sawhney, Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and IT, Government of India, at a ceremony that took place in Delhi, India.
The oldest and largest association representing the electronics manufacturing industry in India, ELCINA was the first organization in the country to institute awards for excellence in electronics in 1976. Today, the awards are highly regarded in industry circles, recognizing the outstanding achievements of electronics/IT manufacturing and service companies that have a manufacturing base in India. The panel of judges includes experts from government, institutions and industries that support the electronics industry.
“Sanmina India is committed to designing and manufacturing the most advanced electronics products,” said Elan Chelian, managing director and VP of Sanmina’s Chennai facility. “Receiving two ELCINA awards from such an esteemed organization validates our commitment to maintaining the highest level of quality standards and producing innovative products that contribute to the best possible business outcomes for our customers.”
