Electronic Design & Manufacturing (EDM) is a 100% employee-owned manufacturing company headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. For more than three decades, EDM has been dedicated to addressing the engineering and manufacturing challenges of its customers. Their approach is straightforward and distinguishes them from many regional electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers. They excel in bridging gaps in clients' teams and making valuable DFX (Design for Excellence) recommendations. Even with existing or legacy products, EDM offers customized automation or redesign suggestions to tackle challenges related to customer costs, product obsolescence, or market competitiveness. In 1996, Electronic Design & Manufacturing became employee-owned when they implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Every employee is also an owner, personally invested in achieving customer satisfaction and committed to delivering a high-quality product with optimal efficiency. Their remarkable low turnover rate, well below the industry average, underscores the dedication of their highly trained staff to the success of customer projects. Employee-owned businesses exhibit heightened accountability to customers, operate with greater efficiency, and have more satisfied employees who are better equipped to serve customers compared to their competitors. EDM's impressive record of customer retention attests to the effectiveness of their approach.
