History


Hometown success, worldwide potential

Nothing sells like face-to-face contact, even in global markets. That's how CE3, a Moncton-based contract electronics manufacturing firm, has made its mark with the "big players." By focusing on customer service and international networking, this company has achieved significant growth, nearly doubling its number of employees in less than five years.

"Face-to-face interaction with major global corporations has been our key to success," says company president David Whitton. "And we've done it mostly through trade show attendance and customer referrals".

So what exactly does a contract electronics manufacturer produce? In this award-winning company's case the products, which are targeted to niche markets, range from miniature electronic components to large power transformers. Specialties include:

Full turnkey electronic manufacturing services, individualized to meet any customers' manufacturing needs;

Printed circuit board assembly using state of the art, lead-free SMT and quality assurance programs that will ensure fast turn-around with high reliability;

Cable and wire harness assembly using innovative technology paired with consistent and professional workmanship; and

Custom-wound magnetic components used in a range of applications, from lighting and electronic signage to industrial control and medical electronics.

Since its 1985 start-up, CE3 has earned a solid reputation for providing reliable, quality products and services with on-time delivery. In 1994, the company received the Greater Moncton Business Excellence Award for Innovation. Then three years later it was hailed as one of the 10 best contract electronics manufacturers in Canada by Electronic Buyers' News, the worldwide industry newspaper for purchasing and business management. More recently, the company successfully implemented the requirements to have its Quality Management System registered to ISO 9001:2000. The new quality system will become a model for continuous improvement.

Already considered Atlantic Canada's top electronics manufacturing service company, CE3 is well on its way to becoming a national leader - and bringing the benefits of that success back home. Says David Whitton, "Employees, management, and the Board of Directors are all working together towards sustainable growth. We all appreciate how our success can have deep and true impact on our own people and our community."

CE3 - definitely a company with worldwide potential and hometown success!
