The company’s automotive camera platforms offer excellent thermal management properties and optical performance while being the smallest available in the market.
Tan notes that IMI’s “wide geographic footprint and technical capabilities allow us to take on the specific outsourcing needs of our OEM customers.” In serving the demand for electronics manufacturing within the European region, Tan says that IMI has “the talent in Bulgaria and Czech Republic who can understand OEMs’ industries and businesses, as well as technologies and how to maximize these.”
