Australia's hardware companies are growing fast. Battery and energy storage brands are keeping pace with record household demand. Automotive, 4WD and e-mobility businesses are designing smarter, more connected products. MedTech innovators are moving from clinical trials to commercial launch.
Many of these companies began with a trusted local manufacturing partner who helped them through prototypes and early production runs. Then demand grows. Orders double, new markets open, and the question changes from "Can we build it?" to "How do we scale it without losing control?"
Local electronics manufacturers are strong at prototyping, specialised low-volume work and close engineering support. But as volumes grow, many OEMs run into limits on capacity, cost and the ability to take on full product assembly.
The usual alternative, a large global EMS provider, often comes with a reputation for being slow, rigid and hard to reach. For a growing company, that can feel like trading one problem for another.
SVI was built to remove that trade-off.
We've been building electronics since 1985. Today, SVI brings more than 40 years of electronics manufacturing services expertise and ranks among the Top 50 EMS providers worldwide. Our 6,500+ people work across six production sites in Thailand, Cambodia, Austria, Slovakia and the USA.
Our model is simple: you own the product, and we manufacture it. We partner with OEMs to turn their designs into reliable, high-quality products at the volume their business needs.
Mass production is at the core of what we do.
Scale only matters if it comes with flexibility. SVI combines both.
Australian companies are leading innovation in some of the world's most demanding sectors. Here's how we support them.
Automotive and e-mobility
From 4WD and caravan power systems to EV charging, electric buses, and mining and agricultural vehicles, Australian automotive electronics must perform in harsh conditions. Our Thailand manufacturing sites are certified to IATF 16949, and our in-house cable harness assembly follows IPC/WHMA-A-620, so critical parts can be built under one roof.
Batteries and energy storage
Australia's home battery market is growing at record pace, and every battery system relies on a dependable Battery Management System (BMS). At Tohoku Solutions, our dedicated automotive electronics site in Thailand, we manufacture complete BMS solutions. The work covers precision PCBA, custom functional testing such as high-voltage isolation, cell balancing and CAN/LIN communication checks, and full system integration with plastic or metal housings. Learn more in End-to-End BMS Manufacturing for EVs.
For OEMs that already have their own BMS design, our engineers review it for manufacturability before production begins. This covers schematics, layout, thermal behaviour and sourcing risk, with unit-level traceability from the first prototype through to mass production. The result is fewer design revisions and a smoother ramp-up. Read about our approach in Preparing BMS Designs for Reliable Manufacturing.
Medical devices
For MedTech companies moving into commercial production, quality systems matter as much as capacity. Our Thailand headquarters is ISO 13485 certified, compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, and operates a 10K clean room for controlled manufacturing.
