Compelling solutions
Electronics play a key role in nearly every area of our lives. Continuing innovations means
technology is steadily improving. As our device have evolved, over time they have become
everyday helpers that we can not do without. Design and lifestyle aspects play their part,
and applications are optimized to deliver maximum benefits. Computer-assisted traffic
control systems help us every day by guiding steadily increasing traffic. On-board
computers serve us in our cars. Intelligent living with networked household devices,
home automation or multimedia systems enhances our comfort and safety. Mobile
payment systems, car connectivity, Internet-enabled electronic devices the list of new
developments is long.
In medical technology, innovation is improving treatment and patient quality of life.
Microelectronics for proton therapy are becoming ever more important in in the battle
against cancer. Aviation and space flight would be impossible without electronics.
Microelectronics play an important role in satellite research projects. Globalization and
the ongoing development of information and communication technologies are opening
new avenues for collaboration. Companies that focus on their core business while making
effective use of external specialists can achieve competitive advantage through operational and strategic partnerships.
Cicor is a solutions provider with worldwide operations and a globally unique portfolio of
services and technologies. The latest discoveries combined with many years of experience,
state-of-the-art technologies together with exceptional expertise make Cicor a dependable and innovate partner in the development and production of compelling solutions for
every aspect of electronics.

Quality data management

Cross-site compatible
ensures safety and traceability processes
Our quality data management solutions
far exceed legal requirements and feature
extensive functions configured to meet the
customers specific needs. This allows us
to guarantee seamless transparency in all
production and after-sales processes at
every location.

We work with integrated production and

quality assurance processes, identical
or compatible production facilities, test
systems and standard ERP software (SAP)
everywhere. This allows an optimum
choice of production sites, simple
relocation of production and rigorous
cost control.

The underlying
principles: partnership
and reliability

Together with our customers we create

sophisticated and innovative solutions.
Our areas of expertise include production
of precision injection molding tools,
precision plastic injection molding and
3D-MID (three-dimensional injection
moulded circuit board) technology. This
technology makes it possible to integrate
mechanical and electronic functions in a
single component, packing significantly
more functionality into a smaller space.

We support our clients starting in the

planning stage, guaranteeing the ideal
outsourcing solution, tailored to the
clients specific needs. We see ourselves
as a partner over the entire product life
cycle, from product development through
series production to after-sales service.
