About Resurgent Manufacturing Services
Resurgent Manufacturing Services (RMS) addresses the persistent challenge of obsolescence in the semiconductor industry. Rapid technological advancements, industry consolidation, and the shift toward cutting-edge fabrication processes have made it increasingly difficult for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to secure long-term supplies of critical legacy components. RMS provides innovative solutions to ensure the continuity and reliability of supply for our partners.
As a subsidiary of Flip Electronics, RMS extends its parent company's expertise in sourcing hard-to-find semiconductor components. While Flip Electronics provides customer support by purchasing finished goods, RMS works in the background to secure wafers, die, and intellectual property, ensuring long-term product availability. From BOM management to handling product end-of-life (EOL), Flip and RMS empower OEMs to control their product's lifecycle.
The Resurgent Mission
Bridging the lifecycle gap between OEM products and semiconductor component availability, Resurgent Manufacturing Services extends manufacturing processes through close collaboration with original semiconductor manufacturers. This ensures the production of items fully compatible in form, fit, and function.
Authorized by the original manufacturers, these products are created using the same tooling and technologies while meeting all specified requirements outlined in the manufacturer data sheets. The partnership among RMS, original manufacturers, and customers adds value for all involved, resulting in a WIN-WIN-WIN scenario.
The Challenge of Mismatched Lifecycles
The lifecycles of semiconductor components seldom match the lifecycles of end products in sectors like automotive, industrial, networking, and defense. With original manufacturers continually streamlining their product lines, more semiconductors are reaching EOL status, leading to a gradual reduction in average lifecycle durations. This discrepancy creates several challenges for customers, such as sourcing issues, redesign expenses, and qualification hurdles for alternative components.
Resurgent Manufacturing Services tackles these challenges head-on. Through extended manufacturing services, RMS ensures continuity for EOL components, enabling OEMs to keep their production lines running smoothly and avoid costly interruptions. Whether addressing high-value, low-volume orders or managing large-scale needs for standard parts, RMS delivers tailored solutions that meet the specific challenges faced by each customer.
Proven Solutions
With more than five years of experience and millions of electronic components successfully delivered, Resurgent Manufacturing Services has established itself as a trusted leader in extended manufacturing. Resurgent's effective and economical business model allows organizations to address lifecycle gaps and handle obsolescence challenges effortlessly. By collaborating with RMS, OEMs and original manufacturers can concentrate on their core competencies while guaranteeing the continued production of long-lifecycle products for OEMs.
Exceptional Value
