Production has started on the first product to be made at our new facility – the UVIR-1. 

Mechanical and electronic parts are produced at a number of suppliers in SE Asia as well as in the US and shipped to our Hong Kong factory. After passing incoming inspection the parts are cleared for final assembly and testing. 

A new series of products

The UVIR-1 is one of a new range of gaming products Porticos Asia is engineering and producing in our facility for Shuffle Tech. The UVIR-1 uses variable visible, IR and UV light to detect hidden markings on playing cards. Other products in the range include devices for randomised card shuffling and a smart card shoe for baccarat and other card games. The smart card shoe is capable of reading cards at high speed and storing the information for verification after each game.

Small batch production

Our new 4,000 sq. ft. office was designed with a 2,000 sq. ft. facility for the final assembly and testing of products in small batches such as the UVIR-1. We continue to work with our production partners in SE Asia for larger volumes but in instances where the quantities are smaller production can take place in-house. Our production facility has three production lines, a warehouse for parts and finished goods storage and testing and measurement equipment including an environmental chamber and a digital measuring projector.

Our production advantages

Furthermore, with production Hong Kong we are able to take advantage of the superb air and sea freight logistics for rapid delivery to our customers. Other advantages of producing in Hong Kong include tariff free export to China under CEPA and strong IP protection thanks to Hong Kong’s robust legal system.

How can we help?

If you would like to find out more about the engineering, product development and production services we can provide in SE Asia why not drop us a line. We would be happy to introduce the work we have done for customers and discuss how we might be able to help with your product development and manufacturing needs.

At Porticos Asia we specialize in medical product development and production.  Customers include Masimo, Medicomp and Spencer Health Solutions. Together with our partner Porticos US we can provide a turnkey solution – from design to delivery.

As Porticos Asia continues to grow, we have found that we are working with an increasing number of companies in the medical field, from start-ups to multi-national corporations. In many cases having engaged our partner Porticos US for mechanical and electrical engineering and firmware development customers then work with us to take their product through design for manufacturing and industrialization to production. There are many benefits with such a one-stop solution including a seamless transition to production and shorter lead times. For one of our customers, Spencer Health Solutions, we were able to take the engineering design of Porticos US to production in 12 weeks.

We have worked on a wide range of medical products including medicine dispensers, medical data aggregators, heart monitoring systems and blood glucose monitors. Whilst the product type can vary the development and production processes and quality requirements are similar.

Porticos Asia’s Hong Kong location is ideal for managing production in China or for other countries in SE Asia including Indonesia and Singapore. For more contained volumes we are able to carry out final assembly and testing ourselves, in our Hong Kong facility. Otherwise, for larger volumes we have a network of trusted suppliers built up over decades. All suppliers are certified ISO 9001 and some ISO 13485 and with our team of quality control engineers we are able, with frequent factory visits, to manage our customers’ projects for on time delivery to high quality standards.

Drop us a line if you would like to find out more about our services and how we might be able to help you with your medical product development and production needs.

With the opening of a new facility we have greatly enhanced the services we are able to provide our customers. Our new 4,000 sq.ft. headquarters in Hong Kong combines offices for management and engineering with a factory for final assembly and testing and a warehouse.

Hong Kong was an industrial centre in the sixties after which manufacturing migrated to Mainland China in search of lower costs. Now that Hong Kong is at cost parity with Mainland China for the production of higher value-added products it makes perfect sense to open a factory here.

It’s not only about cost. Whilst we continue to source parts from SE Asia, Hong Kong has so many advantages over other countries in the region for final assembly and testing:

• Parts can be sourced easily and quickly thanks to Hong Kong’s central location and superb logistics infrastructure
• With our own facility we can maintain tight control over production quality
• IP protection is much stronger in Hong Kong than in Mainland China or other SE Asian countries.
