Growth Strategy

Emrise pursues a product and geographic diversification strategy balancing the risks of each of its business groups. The strategy is to increase revenue and earnings, while continuing to focus on reinforcing core business and operating as international business units to maximize the return on Emrise's worldwide presence. In order to do so, Emrise is implementing a three-point strategy for growth.

Focus on the development of our core electronic components business, through the introduction of new, unique and market leading products, the development our existing customer base and the expansion of the geographical markets for the Power Conversion products through the acquisition of a US Power supply manufacturer.
Focus on the development of an expanded range of timing Systems for the International Market.
Expand our line of transmission and network access products to include newer, higher bandwidth technologies, build on our knowledge and experience of secure encryption to address new markets and broaden product application through added features such as web-based Internet Protocol management capabilities and enhanced user interfaces. Emrise's business strategy is to be a fast follower, and we believe that the potential of our newest data, voice and video products points the way to the future.
Build on the re launch of the revised transmission products into the US market through CXR Larus.

Emrise is active in North America and Europe with manufacturing and marketing facilities. The markets in the two areas are not on the same cycle, meaning a slowdown in one geographic area is likely to be offset by strong growth in the other. We are also present in the Asian market, with our newer Japanese facilities. Although they account for only a small portion of our sales at the moment, we expect Japan and the developing economies of Asia to be major markets for Emrise's products in the medium term.
