What CeRise Inc. does

CeRise Inc. is a San Diego-headquartered supply chain management and custom manufacturing company founded in 2021 by Cherry Miyake, building on the heritage and customer relationships of predecessor China Electronics, Inc. (founded 2001). The company operates a multi-commodity manufacturing platform spanning PCB and PCBA (capabilities from 1-110 layers, 1.48 million m² annual capacity across three plants), fiber optics (AOC, HDMI, C/DWDM, transceivers up to 400 Gb/s, FBG sensors, PLC splitters), lighting, LCD displays, diecasting and CNC metal fabrication, gear motors and planetary gearboxes, injection molding and plastics, full EMS/box build, and automation systems for banking, retail, logistics, and packaging. Service modules cover global sourcing, NPI/DFM, mechanical/electrical/industrial engineering, inventory management, kitting, quality control, and global logistics.

CeRise serves three distinct customer segments through differentiated go-to-market motions. Enterprise manufacturers in North America (45.3%), Europe (26.5%), and China (28.2%) receive full turnkey manufacturing through sales-led enterprise field engagement. Government agencies — including the UN, WHO, US municipalities such as LA DWP and NYC DCAS, 28 EU member states, and the 55-member African Union — are addressed through direct-to-government procurement programs covering multi-category technologies, equipment, and infrastructure materials sourced across 20+ countries. Japanese SMEs are served via the Osaka-based CeRise Japan channel, providing succession consulting, digital transformation, regulatory compliance, and global market access support, including AI-assisted craftsmanship documentation tools.

Revenue derives from quote-based custom manufacturing contracts and multi-year enterprise engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, founder-controlled under Cherry Miyake (President), and operates support centers across the USA, Ireland, Germany, Israel, China, and Japan, with manufacturing in Mexico, Asia (China, Vietnam), and Eastern Europe. The PCB division alone generated $421M in 2022 revenue, and the firm maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001 (since 1999), ISO/TS 16949, IATF 16949 (2018 transition), and EN ISO 13485:2012 certifications, plus Sony OEM Green Partner and Ricoh CMS supplier status.
