Hical Technologies Private Limited

Testing Facilities

Our EMS facilities are designed for custom solutions, and for high mix, and small to medium volumes. We treat each segment of manufacturing that goes into EMS—Board Assembly, Cable Harness, Box-build, Testing, and Logistics—as an opportunity to create a center of excellence, and we invest into the corresponding learning and execution required for it.

Integration with a focus on box builds
We are steadily integrating backwards for improved flexibility, and high reliability. As a first step, we have begun with (from 2009) specialty plastics components. In 2010, we are integrating Cable Harnesses, and in two years we intend to be recognized as a leading facility for hi-rel cable harnesses. We will continue to integrate, but always with a view that when we can source from a better partner who has core competence in the product, we will do so, and for the long term.

All our facilities are marked by outstanding housekeeping. Safety and Environment Protection are a key concern and are managed through robust systems. In a three-day audit done on our facilities by Nokia from Finland, the auditors remarked that our systems are “an example for other companies.”

Vision

Our vision for the next five years is to establish world-class facilities for the manufacture of an extended range of Electromagnetic products, and integrated facilities for Electronic Manufacturing Services—all for high-reliability applications.

Quality Policy

We were certified for AS9100B in April 2008 with a score of 77.27%; in May 2010, we were re-certified, with a score of 89.20%. Our next task is to win the upgraded certification, to AS9100C, by June 2011. Our Quality Management System was certified to ISO9002 in the year 1995. Next, we upgraded the system to QS9000 during 1998. Right now, we are certified for ISO9001, but our system incorporates the key elements of TS16949, as a happy consequence of being QS9000-certified for 3 years. Which means that we can upgrade our QMS to TS16949 within 6 months. What we enjoy most about this system are the benefits we derive from APQP and PPAP during New product Introduction.

The “Hical Environmental Management System” was certified to ISO14001 in the year 2008. It is a system that is close to our heart, and we have implemented it to Global standards. The major programs recently completed, and in progress, as a consequence of this certification are: Elimination of carcinogenic materials; Implementation REACH and ROHS regulations; Energy Savings; E-waste and Hazardous Waste Management; and widespread planting of trees.
