"Logical Solutions for Managing Component and Manufacturing Costs"


About Cypress Labs

Mission Statement: Our aim is to provide our clients with the most accurate, up to date information available, and to deliver our analysis in a timely manner.
 
Cypress Labs was founded by Mick Everett in 1993 and for 13 years had been a resource for two well known competitive market research firms. In 2006 Cypress Labs made the decision to become a self contained company, independent of the constraints of a contracted sales and marketing company. We now welcome all manufacturers, long term and "soon to be" clients who wish to experience the many benefits of working with the Cypress Labs "Direct" business model. 
 
The origin of the need for Cypress Labs derived from the following manufacturing situations:
  1. Our clients manufacture component intensive products, and more often than not they achieve this manufacturing through global Contract Manufacturing relationships. Throughout this process the Contract Manufacturer and the OEM purchase components and materials from suppliers to build their products.
  2. Cypress Labs provides a highly qualified “sanity check” regarding the costs incurred in this manufacturing process.
  3. In the end, our product specific analysis empowers our clients with a credible way to monitor their contract manufacturers and suppliers regarding component and manufacturing costs.
  4. Given the high volumes of production runs, the savings incurred on each unit as a result of our analysis, provides financial justification for utilizing our unique resource.
