Since 2001, the company has been on an upward growth pattern, having reached sales of 9 million dollars in 2004. Mr. Meza started his company as a contract manufacturer, but decided to take advantage of the talent of his staff, most of whom were Engineers who had been laid off by Smartflex Systems when the company was sold. As a result, Mr. Meza concentrated on contracts for the initial development of a company's product. The following are some of the services available at FMi: · New product introductions (NPI) for the electronics industry · Engineering development related to advanced interconnect technologies -cas (Chip on substrate) -COF (Chip on flex) -FCOF (Flip chip on flex) · Full electronics testing including reliability · Specializing in flexible substrate electronics assembly · In house mechanical fabrication from CNC to EDM Mr. Meza's business philosophy includes paying employees above the average of what other employers are paying for similar positions, and making employees important stakeholders of the company. Employees at Flexible Manufacturing are fully empowered, and in the future will fulfill Mr. Meza's vision of becoming owners of the company. Mr. Meza is very interested in joining the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board. He feels that the board will be a great opportunity to network with other business leaders in the community, and also a great opportunity to become involved in the policy making of procedures that will help Santa Ana business, as well as individuals in the community.
