Frost & Sullivan Award – Company of the Year 2014

Europlacer is delighted to receive it’s first Frost & Sullivan award for Global Flexible SMT Placement Equipment Company of the Year.

Frost & Sullivan cites Europlacer as an impressive player in the flexible SMT pick and place equipment market for the last 40 years, and one that has emerged as a one-stop SMT solution provider for customers. Key metrics in F&S awarding Europlacer its top position is the recognition that the company’s platform products and services significantly reduce the ownership costs for its customers, thereby increasing their ROI. Elements highlighted that help achieve this include the compatibility of new products with older accessories, feeders, and customers’ own feeder trolleys (some developed over 20 years ago), which F&S deemed to be a strategy that makes Europlacer placement platform solutions future proof.

“As well as identifying the performance of our products, we are pleased to see F&S including our notable financial performance, growth rate and service-level business factors in its analysis: metrics like the fact that 10% of our current employees have been with the company for 30 years and more than 20% for the last 20 years,” says Evans. “We know that this experience and accumulated knowledge helps forge stronger personal relationships with clients and improves our understanding of their requirements. It’s something that competitors find hard to match, so it’s good to see this recognised in the award.”

Frost & Sullivan concluded that Europlacer has proved its mettle time and again “as an innovative trendsetter” in the flexible SMT pick and place equipment market. And that the company possesses “a thorough understanding of market dynamics and customer requirements,” that allows it to emerge as a market leader. “With its strong overall performance, Europlacer has earned the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Award,” states the organisation’s analyst team.
