Responsive, friendly PCB experts... at your service!

Finding the right electronics manufacturing partner is a lot like putting together a puzzle. Friendly service is one piece, but you also need fast turnaround times, practical technical advice and, of course, quality PCB assemblies.

In short, it's about finding a manufacturer that brings everything together!

Here's what you can expect from us, the whole picture and nothing less. 👇

Inside where the magic happens...

And by magic, we mean none other than our Europlacer doing what it does best, placing components onto PCBs!

Capable of up to 𝟲𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 placements per hour, it's technology like this, combined with a flexible, customer-focused team, that allows us to offer fast turnaround times, sometimes in as little as 24 hours.

It's a big part of how we keep up with demanding production schedules, while maintaining the precision and consistency needed across every PCB assembly.

Ever looked at a finished electronic product and thought, “It’s just a box with some components inside”?

Think again! Inside that enclosure are PCBAs, wiring harnesses, power supplies, connectors and mechanical components that all need to work together.

That's where box-build assembly becomes much more than simply putting parts together.

Our role is to manage everything from mechanical and electrical integration to cable management, functional testing and quality control.

The goal isn't just to build a box. It's to deliver a finished product that performs consistently, meets specification and is ready for its intended application.

The inspection department… aka the place where we make sure everything’s right before it leaves us!

Alongside using inspection technology like our Mantis Inspection System and Scienscope X-Ray, we also have in-house IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Trainers, helping keep the whole team trained and up to speed with the latest IPC standards.

It’s all part of making sure what leaves our doors is exactly what our customers expect. 👌

When you’re working with X-ray inspection equipment, safety can’t be an afterthought.

That’s why we’re pleased to congratulate Brian (aka “Frank”), who has recently completed his training to become our second 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 (𝗥𝗣𝗦).

Our RPSs play an important role in making sure our X-ray equipment is operated safely, procedures are followed correctly and potential radiation risks are properly controlled.

Having a second trained RPS also gives us greater cover across the business, ensuring that oversight and support remain available during holidays, absence or particularly busy periods.

It’s another investment in our people that helps us maintain a safe working environment while continuing to make full use of our X-ray inspection capabilities.

Well done, Frank! 👏

New week, more projects making their way across the benches. 👌

A bit of hands-on PCB work to get things started, with one of our team carrying out manual soldering on an assembly.

Not every part of PCB production happens on an automated line. Some stages need a steady hand and a close eye, particularly when working around individual components and connections.

Just one of the jobs keeping the shop floor busy!

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. 💚

But supporting mental health and wellbeing isn’t about one day in the calendar. It’s about creating a workplace where people feel supported, recognised and comfortable speaking up when they need help.

We put that into practice in lots of ways, including Mental Health First Aid training, confidential support, team socials, recognition and time to properly switch off.

Soon Breathe HR polls will also help us check in more regularly and identify where additional support could help.
