Company Overview

Prismark is an electronics industry consulting firm that is privileged to work with more than 150 of the world’s foremost electronics companies. Our clients include many of the leading systems and semiconductor companies, manufacturing services providers, their suppliers of materials, components, and manufacturing tools, and the leading financial institutions that enable industry growth and investment.

Prismark’s consulting practice is built on providing pivotal information that is relevant to the emergence of a new technology or the development of a client’s business. Prismark is valued by its clients, because no other resource has a broader outlook or carries out deeper research, and they use Prismark’s knowledge and insight to make confident business decisions about uncertain technology and market developments.

Our Heritage

Prismark Partners was founded in 1994, in New York, with the goal to build a global strategic business development consultancy based on a breadth and depth of research, and electronics industry knowledge that was unavailable from any other company at that time.

Today, Prismark Partners is an internationally respected consulting group of twenty-five people operating out of offices in New York and Taipei. The company’s growth is fuelled by a continued emphasis on deep custom research and broad coverage for a global client base. Prismark is positioned between the single focus specialists and the large, multi-industry strategic business consultants. The company is the first choice of many who need authoritative research, analysis, and advice about opportunity in the electronics industry.
