In 2005, IMI began aggressive expansion of its operations beyond the Philippines. It acquired the assets of Saturn Electronics and Engineering, a Tustin, California, USA-based company, gaining its technology and design center, prototyping and production facilities, and a program management center in the U.S., and high-volume assembly facilities in the Philippines.

These developments were closely followed by an alliance forged with German EMS company, BuS Elektronik, and the acquisition of M. Hansson Consulting, an engineering-oriented test systems integrator.[3]
In 2010, IMI announced the establishment of its 6th manufacturing plant in China, a factory in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Other facilities in China are in Shenzhen (Liantang, Kuichong, Fuyong), Jiaxing, and Chongqing.
