The Only Thing That Has Changed is Everything: A Conversation with Amtech CEO Jay Patel

EMS@C-LEVEL · 9 May 2025 · 8m

What this episode covers

Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech, discusses the current state of the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry with host Philip Stoten at APEX 2025. Patel argues that while political shifts and trade wars create chaos, they also present opportunities for companies that can adapt, emphasizing that Amtech focuses on non-ITAR and non-consumer markets where reshoring potential exists. He highlights that organizational culture, rather than equipment, is the true competitive advantage, as technology like AI and IoT serves primarily to free up talent for customer-focused problem solving.

    Breaking Down Electronics Manufacturing with Jay Patel

    Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech, an EMS provider in Michigan, discusses the transition from prototyping to volume production, emphasizing the critical role of supply chain risk analysis and the shift of component manufacturers like Texas Instruments selling directly to OEMs. He highlights Amtech's use of vapor phase reflow and AI-based inspection to ensure quality in high-mix, mid-volume production, while explaining how Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) rules help reduce costs and defects. Patel also addresses the industry's lack of standardized data formats, advocating for the adoption of IPC-2581 to streamline communication between designers, EMS providers, and PCB fabricators.

    The Hard Truths About Reshoring American Manufacturing w/ Eddy Azad

    Eddy Azad, CEO of Parsec Automation, discusses the strategic realities of reshoring manufacturing to the United States, arguing that it is a long-term, complex process rather than a simple cost-saving switch. He explains that reshoring makes the most sense for high-value, high-tech products like semiconductors and medical devices where supply chain resilience and innovation are critical, rather than for commoditized goods. Azad highlights that while automation and AI can mitigate higher US labor costs, they require robust data infrastructure and end-to-end integration to be effective. He also addresses the impact of AI on the workforce, noting a shift from manual execution to human-in-the-loop oversight and prompt engineering.

    The Benefits of an Employee-Ownership Culture w/ Brian Baker

    Brian Baker, CEO and President of Sentry Equipment, discusses the benefits of his company's 100% employee-owned structure via an ESOP. He explains how this model fosters a culture of transparency, engagement, and trust, contrasting modern, high-tech manufacturing with the 'dark, dirty, dangerous' factories of the past. Baker also outlines the 'manufacturing tsunami' driving reshoring to the U.S., citing cheap energy, skilled labor, and proximity to customers as key factors, while noting the current challenge of a labor shortage rather than a skills gap.
