Anuva Selected as a Finalist for the Prestigious Florida Companies to Watch Award!

Anuva is proud to announce that our “Design to Distribution” electronics manufacturing enterprise has been selected as a finalist for the Florida Companies to Watch Award. Billed as “Florida's Second-Stage Growth Company Rockstars,” the annual awards are presented by the Florida Economic Gardening Institute (GrowFL) at the University of Central Florida in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation.

“I’m honored that Anuva has been chosen a finalist for this highly regarded award,” says Founder and CEO Vinu Patel. “Making a significant impact on the US economy, while making a global contribution, is Anuva’s mission. Our award selection wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated and hard-working team and talented strategic partners.”

Mr. Patel attributes much of the company’s rapid growth to its strategic partnerships. When Anuva decided to expand from an after-market electronics business that started in 2008 to a full-service “Design to Distribution” enterprise, the company sought partners with like-minded goals. Today, driven by the mutual desire to innovate, Anuva collaborates with a variety of organizations, from startups to large manufacturers. As a result, more than 100 consumer, healthcare, telecommunications, and other products have been introduced within the last 18 months. Moreover, Anuva has significantly increased profit margins when taking products to market.

Anuva’s commitment to high quality has been pivotal to the company’s expansion. By going above the industry standard and obtaining AS9100 certification -- typically associated with the aerospace and defense industry, not electronics manufacturing – this rigorous documentation process ensures Anuva customers the highest standard of excellence!

Florida Companies to Watch Award winners, which will be announced in early August, are being evaluated based on the following criteria:

►Innovation: Anuva is headquartered in a state-of-the-art facility in Melbourne that’s based on Lean Manufacturing concepts. It is equipped with ESD protective carpeting through the manufacturing floor, high-efficiency lighting, and UPS backup power for the majority of the equipment. Unlike competitors of similar size, Anuva also offers an innovative “Design to Distribution” solution for clients, including engineering design, product assembly, warehousing, service/repair, logistics, and call center support.

►Company Culture: Anuva is proud of its low turnover rate and engaged and experienced staff. The vast majority of Anuva employees have worked together for as long as 30 years. They are extremely capable and trained to meet the highest industry standards. High employee morale and productivity remain a hallmark of the company.

►Community Impact: Anuva’s Founder Mr. Patel strongly believes that in order to make your company successful, you need to help make your community stronger—and he has instilled this value throughout the company through his philanthropic efforts. Mr. Patel is one of the founders of Ma Krupa, which provides medical care for people from Brevard County to rural parts of India. Each year, Mr. Patel and the Anuva team help raise much-needed funds for the Ma Krupa event in Brevard County, bring local business leaders together for a common cause and raising awareness of the need for medical care in indigent communities.      

►Marketing: Anuva’s “Design to Distribution” approach includes strategically focusing on large markets within the state and building a brand based on high quality at low cost. This has helped Anuva grow its market share over the past few years and an approach that will sustain the company well into the future.

About Anuva

Anuva is a “Design to Distribution” family of businesses that started in 2008 with the launch of Anuva Services in Morrisville, NC. Anuva Services, a Carolinas Minority Supplier Development Council-certified minority business, began by providing world-class after-market and logistic services to customers. Despite launching during a challenging economic environment, Anuva experienced tremendous start-up growth and tripled the space of the facility. Three years later, Anuva further expanded by acquiring a contract manufacturing operation whose roots date back to the Dictaphone operation in Melbourne, FL. In 2011, Anuva Founder Vinu Patel launched Anuva Manufacturing Services and relocated the headquarters to a new facility in Melbourne. Both Anuva Services and Anuva Manufacturing Services adhere to the industry IPC-A-610 and related standards. In 2012, Anuva expanded once again by launching a sister company, Anuva Resource Solutions (www.anuvaresource.com). Anuva Resource Solutions was created because our customers needed help growing their businesses by hiring talented people. Specializing in small to midsize companies, Anuva Resource Solutions handles each employment opportunity with the highest integrity and dedicated, personal attention. In 2013, Anuva continued to expand by developing a strong partnership with TriE Medical Inc. (www.triemedical.com). TriE Medical is an ISO 13485 certified medical device development company providing design, documentation, manufacturing, and testing services to the medical device industry. The partnership between TriE Medical and Anuva created the Design to Distribution vision of our company.
