Here's what happened to precision engineering in December

There was weak export demand for semiconductor-related equipment.

The Singapore Economic Development Board reported:

Output of the precision engineering cluster was 7.9% lower year-on-year in December 2012, with both segments recording lower output.

The precision modules & components segment contracted 2.0%, on the back of lower output in plastic precision components and dies, moulds, jigs & fixtures.

Weak export demand for semiconductor related equipment and refrigerating systems contributed to the 12.6% decline in the machinery & systems segment.

Cumulatively, output of the precision engineering cluster grew 1.3% in 2012 compared to 2011.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
