About Customer	Fuba Printed Circuits Tunisie SA (Fuba) is one of the largest and most technologically advanced producers of double-sided, plated, through-hole and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs). Founded in 1991, the company has sales locations in Europe, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, China and Australia. Fuba is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified and TS16949 certified, and enjoys the tax exemption benefits of the free trade agreement between Tunisia and the European Union. The company has more than doubled in size since implementing Paradigm ERP and is planning an investment within the next two years that will increase capacity by another 40 percent to 50 percent.

Solution	After an extensive survey of the market, Fuba decided to purchase Paradigm® ERP, a Cimnet solution offered by Aptean Corporation. The decision was made in large part because of Paradigm’s industry-specific functionality, Cimnet’s focus on PCB manufacturing and its other PCB industry focused offerings for engineering and quoting. In addition, many of Fuba’s competitors also use Paradigm ERP. Fuba is in the early stages of implementing Cimnet’s Engenix engineering package to integrate design data with Paradigm. In addition, Fuba hopes to decrease pre-production time by automating its engineering processes with Engenix. Read More Log in to view content
