EMSNOW gets a detailed update about Creation Technologies focus during the past 12 months since our last conversation with its dynamic CEO Patrick Freytag. This EMS – #45 on EMSNOW-in4ma’s EMS-ODM Global 100 list – is focused on highly complex electronics in regulated industries. Patrick explains they are well positioned to act with resilience by leveraging their experienced, talented management team, their process excellence, and investment in their manufacturing footprint, with the latest equipment and automation. The conversation turns to the NPI process, particularly with the medical industry, which is one of Creation Technologies’ competitive advantage, Patrick says. They also talk about the challenges of supply chain management with the disruptions of on-shoring and OEM demand volatility. It’s a nuanced discussion of how this well-run company is wrestling with the big industry challenges of 2026.
