History & Expansion of NPI Solutions
New Product Integration (NPI) Solutions was founded in May 2000, by Kevin Andersen in the heart of Silicon Valley. Upon inception, the goal and focus of NPI was to become a leading provider of quality custom electronic assemblies at a reasonable price. Before founding NPI, Andersen spent years deeply enmeshed in the boom surrounding the development of personal computers and the demand for required cable assemblies and other electromechanical components. Eventually, as manufacturing shifted overseas Andersen saw the emerging niche for a reliable high-throughput American company that could provide quality components customers could trust.
What started as a small 4,000-square-foot facility quickly grew and expanded across the globe. In the spring of 2008, NPI opened its first overseas location in Suzhou, China. As a result, the company continued to grow and required further expansion. In March of 2013, NPI opened a third location in Singapore. Most recently in 2024, NPI opened a fourth location in Nogales, Mexico that is intended to strengthen the supply chain and manufacturing capacity for the North American market.
In 2022, NPI Solutions became part of the Amphenol family of companies. As one of the world’s premier providers of high-technology interconnects, sensor, and antenna solutions, Amphenol utilizes NPI abilities to continue serving customers in virtually every market including semiconductor, medical, automotive, commercial, aerospace, IT, data communications, and military applications.

NPI Solutions – Singapore
Opened in 2013, the NPI Solutions Singapore plant is ideally located in the heart of Southeast Asia and approximately 20 miles from Changi International Airport. This manufacturing plant brings local support and manufacturing capacity to our customers in the Asia-Pacific region using our cutting-edge technology that ensures fast and reliable service. The development of this region is becoming increasingly advanced and dependent on the availability of cables, harnesses, and mechanical assemblies. Eighty percent of the world’s largest tech firms currently operate from Singapore and are working on emerging technologies like solar power, robotic advancement, and self-driving cars.
This expansion falls in line with our company’s long-term plan to increase our box-build footprint and install cable harness manufacturing capabilities. Not only that, but NPI Solutions Singapore provides the necessary leverage to increase our production flow and streamline our warehouse operations.
NPI Solutions – Nogales, Mexico
Early in 2024, NPI Solutions once again expanded its global footprint by opening a brand new facility in Nogales, Mexico.
