SMT PCB Assembly (PCBA) — Contract Manufacturing
Contract SMT assembly for pre-series, small batches and medium batches.
Contract SMT assembly for pre-series, small batches and medium batches.
Pre-series runs and small/medium batches
Precise, process-driven order management
98% on-time delivery (annual average)
Production and order management designed for recurring volumes, with clear requirements and delivery to destination.
Components managed by us or supplied by you: we define together the most suitable model for your supply chain.
Alongside our quality control, we can add specific tests based on your requirements.
This solution is ideal if:
Our SMT assembly service for industrial electronics includes:
Very often issues happen before the production line starts, which is why we support you upstream, from the very beginning of the order.
| Typical risk | What we do | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| BOM and data not aligned | Specs and revision alignment | Fewer stops, less rework |
| Ambiguous orientations/placements | Validation of available data + focused clarifications | Smoother production |
| Non-compliant equivalent parts | Agreed alternative management | Fewer surprises at incoming inspection |
| Lead times slipping due to materials | Choice of model (turnkey/labour-only) + job management | More predictability |
We purchase and manage components, including inbound supply chain and logistics.
Ideal if: you want a single point of contact, you want to reduce internal time spent on procurement, you have tight deadlines.
You supply the components; we handle assembly and production.
Ideal if: you already have purchasing/stock agreements, constraints on suppliers, or qualified part numbers.
