A dedicated Quality Assurance function establishes quality standards, processes, documentation, product-specific Assembly Operation Manuals, and quality records, and uses continuing monitoring, review, and improvement to maintain product quality and customer yield requirements. The company's roots trace to a heat-treatment-furnace business established in 1960, followed in 1970 by the automatic-control business that became the predecessor of Avex-SG. A related enterprise established in 1974 focused on electrical-component trading, and from 1992 onward the group expanded distribution with Yamatake control products followed by TOSOKU and Moeller products. During 1992-2000, the group pursued vertical integration through businesses in pneumatic, hydraulic, and PCB fields while Avex-SG began producing electrical control panels for CNC machine tools. In 2001-2003, Avex-SG adopted its current company name, moved to a new factory, established System Engineering and Technical Development functions, and strengthened cleanroom air-conditioning control, semiconductor wastewater treatment, and wafer-cleaning equipment technology. The same period introduced JIT and modularization in production and included cleanroom air-conditioning, SCADA monitoring, and 12-inch wafer-related projects for customers including Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Powerchip Technology, Toppan, and Nanya Technology. The company also developed a Shanghai production base for pneumatic components, system engineering, and CNC machine-tool control-panel manufacturing. In 2004, Avex-SG undertook electrical-control work for Mitsubishi Electric FPD equipment, with INNOLUX T2 named as an end-user site in the company's history. Avex-SG became an electrical-control-panel subcontractor for Daifuku in 2005, then moved into domestic laser-repair-equipment manufacturing based on HOYA CANDEO OPTRONICS experience and established an FPD equipment business function. In 2006 the company joined Taiwan's M-Team machine-tool alliance and used TPS-centered lean-improvement activity to strengthen quality and production management, and in 2007 its FPD operation spun off as CDT in Hsinchu for LCD and solar-equipment development and manufacturing. In 2008 and 2009, Avex-SG expanded into tire-equipment control projects with Rockwell for Good Year, Pirelli, and Rinaldi, added food-automation control work for packaging, labeling, and blow-molding machines, and completed a new plant at Taichung City Precision Machinery Technological Park. The company's history records low-voltage CCC certification around the new-plant program and later supplier or quality approvals involving a major US equipment company, SUMITOMO Heavy Industry, EBARA Corporation, Hermes Microvision, and HERMES-EPITEK CORPORATION. In 2015 Avex-SG also received recognition as an outstanding manufacturer from the M-Team machine-tool industry alliance, and its history later records GMP approval and UL508A Panel Shop approval that enabled production of US UL-specification control panels. In 2003, the related Sintek-SG business became an authorized distributor for Rockwell Automation SSC products covering safety products, photoelectric switches, proximity switches, and connectivity systems. In 2010, Avex-SG Technology Inc. added cooperation with Rhymebus Corporation for inverter power-control panels and with United Technology and SITI of Japan for electrical control panels, while Sintek-SG entered Rockwell Automation's RcSI program for Industrial Automation system-integration work. The related Sintek-SG business later added Patlite, Omron, and Schaffner distribution relationships in 2015 and Proface distribution in 2016. In 2017, a second plant in the Precision Machinery Science Park was completed, and the site began operations with BESCOOL, NISSYO, and the Avex electrical-control function.
