RIGID PCB MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES
We produce PCBs using state-of-the-art machines for processes such as Direct Imaging, Laser Drilling, Reverse Pulse Plating and Flying-Probe net-list testing. Other examples of machines are: Camtek/Pentax Laser Direct Imaging (LDI), Printar automated screen legend, ESI laser drills. Our premier plant is the high technology, 46,000 sq. ft., ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and Milspec MIL-PRF-31032 certified facility in Sunnyvale, California.
Since 1986, we have continuously re-invested in our capabilities and training to manufacture the best PCB's possible. So whether it is etching, drilling, engineers or technical advisors, our technology and our people are state of the art. And that's why customers have rated our manufacturing process as one of the best in the PCB industry for over thirty years.
