The Chemical Connection: Onshoring PCB Production—Daunting but Certainly Possible

10/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical Connection
In the past year, several potential customers, concerned about the impending application of tariffs on incoming goods, have asked us what it would take to bring their circuit board production back to the U.S. While they also had other considerations, the threat of new tariffs was the tipping point that started them thinking about the economic advantages of bringing their manufacturing back onshore. It might be interesting to relate our experiences with two of those inquiries.

Waging the Battle for American PCB Reshoring

10/21/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 Magazine
Legislation is shaping global trade, tariffs, and sustainability and environmental regulations. David Schild of PCBAA discusses exactly where the U.S. stands in its efforts to reshore printed circuit board manufacturing for critical industries. This conversation at PCB West occurred on the first day of the federal government’s shutdown, so it seemed especially timely to hear David's thoughts and insights on how the current political climate is affecting efforts to achieve the U.S. industry’s reshoring goals.

The Right Approach: Electro-Tek—A Williams Family Legacy, Part 1

10/15/2025 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right Approach

Hardware Engineers, Manufacturing Leaders Ready to ‘Build Better’ Electronics

10/06/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
According to Instrumental’s dynamic CEO, Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, the Build Better Electronics Manufacturing Summit on Sept. 30 was a passion project meant to provide a forum for hardware engineering senior leadership, who have very busy jobs and limited opportunities, to share information, thought leadership, and networking opportunities. “Build Better is really about cross-pollination and sharing,” she said, as she highlighted the importance of supporting this type of sharing in tech, which may be more important than ever before.
