FAQ's

Why should I work with a contract electronics manufacturer?

The technology and complexity of electronic assemblies are way beyond the capability of DIY assemblers or small workshops. Complex PCBs with closely spaced pads and fine-pitched components need specialist machinery to apply solder paste, place components, and reflow solder joints. Equally demanding is the inspection process, which requires expensive specialist equipment such as 3D automatic optical inspection (AOI) machines. A quality PCB fabrication and assembly service will pay for itself many times over by minimising the time expended on detecting, identifying, and fixing assembly faults, and providing you with a product guaranteed to last the distance.

How do I find a suitable CEM for my business?

Decide on the factors that are important to you and review the capabilities of potential suppliers. Some suppliers only focus on medium or high-volume production and come up short when making prototypes. Some manufacturers only make prototypes, whereas others are poorly equipped and inexperienced. Avoid disappointment by properly researching CEMs before making your decision.

Can you make a prototype?

We are a leading manufacturer of both prototype and production quantities of printed circuit board assemblies. We manufacture lots of prototypes and use state-of-the-art PCB technology to provide our clients with reliable, functional products. Our largest order is currently for 100,000 pcs per annum.
