AMS partners with audio plants in Bac Ninh
The AMS Vietnam technical team has been supporting material trials directly on speaker and earbud production lines in Bac Ninh, helping plants quickly evaluate new materials under real production conditions.
Bac Ninh is one of the largest manufacturing hubs for audio equipment and consumer electronics in the country. Plants here have a large demand for adhesives, tapes, foams and waterproofing materials, along with a need for fast technical response. Recognizing this, AMS has strengthened its technical resources and warehousing to serve the region.
The team is organized so that each engineer is responsible for one application group, giving customers a single point of contact who understands their products well.
The on-site support model
Instead of sending samples and waiting for customers to test them on their own, AMS engineers bring material samples, measuring tools and documentation to the plant. Both sides run trials on the line together, record parameters and evaluate results the same day.
- Surveying the customer's process and current issues.
- Proposing two to three alternative material options.
- Running trials on the line and measuring bond strength, cure time and acoustic parameters.
- Preparing a comparison report and recommendations.
The most frequently trialed material groups
Recently, trials have focused on UV adhesives for voice coil bonding, double-sided tapes for earbud housings, microphone dust mesh and waterproof nano coating solutions. Many plants are also interested in alternative materials for supply sources that are facing disruptions.
Testing on a real production line gives completely different results from testing in a lab. Line speed, shop floor humidity and operator handling all have an effect, so we want to be there with our customers. — Field Engineer, AMS Vietnam
Nearby warehouse, fast delivery
The warehouse serving Bac Ninh industrial parks enables AMS to deliver common material codes on the same day. Goods are stored under proper temperature conditions, tracked for shelf life and delivered with lot-specific quality certificates. For urgent orders needed for trial runs, customers can receive materials within a few hours.
Next steps
AMS plans to hold topical technical sharing sessions for process engineers in the Bac Ninh and Bac Giang areas, focusing on waterproofing, rub and buzz prevention and automation of bonding processes.
In addition to technical support, AMS also focuses on training plant operators: guidance on storing adhesives at the correct temperature, thawing procedures, checking UV lamp intensity and tape peeling and application techniques. Short on-line training sessions significantly reduce handling errors.
Plants wishing to schedule on-site material trials, please contact AMS Vietnam.
