Meet Matt Howard, Director of Operations! Matt joined HIS in the Spring of 2021 as the project manager for our product line, LINQ, and has since been promoted to Director of Operations. He has immense knowledge of the semiconductor industry, working with major Semiconductor manufacturing OEM’s. He is an Oregon native and a Navy veteran. We are very excited to have him on our executive team!

Over the last two years, HIS has disrupted the semiconductor sub-fab market by fully verticalizing its manufacturing operations. This has allowed us to deliver substantial cost savings, all while maintaining industry-leading quality & gross margins.

Advantages of working with HIS, a vertically integrated supplier:

👉 More offerings = more efficiencies - The more capabilities under one roof allow for ease of transition and efficiency within the production process.

👉 Reduces transportation costs - Because production happens in one location, you reduce the number of times your product is moved, which will reduce your overall transportation cost.

👉 Quality assurance is built into the steps of production. Should any issues arise in production, they are repaired before moving on to the next step. This ensures that the product meets all of your standards and looks professional each step of the way.

👉 One purchase order to make your accounting and purchasing teams happy.

👉 Capture upstream or downstream margins - With multiple suppliers, it is possible that you could spend more money due to the upcharges from each supplier. This will cause your profit margins the shrink. By reducing the number of suppliers you work with, you have a greater opportunity of capturing those upstream or downstream margins.

👉 Improved supply chain coordination - Given that everything is happening in the same place, you only have to work with one point of contact rather than communicating with multiple vendors.
