Project & manufacturing staff
Plan and run your production on our PCB and SMT lines, through to shipping.
A resource network, managed by our team
Component channels with manufacturers and authorised agencies, engineering by our own R&D team, and PCB and SMT production on the same production base for eight years. Our team matches these resources to each project's performance and volume, and manages them through to delivery.
You are welcome to visit or audit the production for your project.
