About CNS Precision Assembly
Australian-Made since 1984.
Our Hornsby based manufacturing centre of excellence in Sydney provides printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing using state-of-the-art Mycronic Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and precision product assembly. The manufacturing areas have antistatic flooring with designated fabrication lines, inspection stations, test facilities and flexible final product assembly zones.
With the primary purpose of finding economically productive and personally rewarding employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities our most valued asset is our people. CNS has taken pride to develop its supported workforce which accounts for over 60% of employees, complemented by qualified engineers, highly experienced technicians, production operators and administration personnel.
What CNS has proven to the mainstream workforce is that focusing on a person’s abilities opens up a variety of benefits for any business. With this focus, the CNS workers have gone on to show that they can perform critical precision assembly tasks in a manner that the majority of commercial organisations simply cannot match. Supported by quality system accreditation to ISO9001 2015, our project-based services deliver value, responsive service, global component sourcing and agility.
