Edvard Kälvesten & Magnus Rimskog

Silex Microsystems was founded in 2000 by Dr. Edvard Kälvesten based on a vision to build the world's leading pure play MEMS foundry. Today, Silex is the only independent MEMS foundry with global manufacturing capabilities and full end-to-end services from R&D to high volume manufacturing. With facilities in Sweden, USA and China, Silex manufactures over 300 million sensors annually across a diverse range of application areas including automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, medical and telecom.

This presentation will share insights from over 20 years of operating a MEMS foundry, the challenges and opportunities in serving a global customer base, and how Silex has built its success on the principle of "one product, one process" - focusing intensely on manufacturing excellence for each unique MEMS design.
