The Global Electronics Association

In a world increasingly defined by electronics, the Global Electronics Association's role is critical to the industry’s success. Beyond supporting the industry, we also shape it, lead it, and protect its future. We are the voice for the global electronics industry, advocating for smart policies, investment in research, technological innovation, education, and the integrity of the global electronics supply chain.  

Global Trade & Policy Advocacy
Advocating for access to global supply chains, fair trade, and strong partnerships between government and industry
Supply Chain Harmonization
Advancing product quality, compliance, and workforce through IPC standards and certifications.
Supply Chain ​Visibility & Intelligence​
Providing insightful, data-driven reports to support informed decisions and risk mitigation.
Technology &​ Operational Solutions
Driving innovation by collaborating with global partners to advance new technologies and solutions.
As an equipment manufacturer, I would like to recognize the immense value the Global Electronics Association brings—not only to Viscom’s global organization and workforce, but to the electronics industry as a whole.

The Association serves as a unifying force across the electronics ecosystem. Its leadership in fostering collaboration among manufacturers, suppliers, and policymakers strengthens the entire industry’s resilience and ability to innovate.

As a leading supplier of optical and X-ray inspection equipment, Viscom helps create and benefits directly from global standards such as IPC-A-610, IPC-9716 and CFX.
