Calumet Electronics Boosts PCB Production Capacity with Strategic CapX
April 5, 2024 | Calumet ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Calumet Electronics is proud to announce a significant expansion of its domestic printed circuit board (PCB) production capacity at its campus in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Over the last four years, Calumet has strategically invested in manufacturing equipment, workforce development, and campus expansion. These company-wide efforts aim to fulfill two strategic objectives: meeting the increased volume and technology demands of current and future clients and reinforcing Calumet’s commitment to onshoring critical advanced PCB production capabilities for DoD partners including flex and rigid flex boards. The company is currently building America’s most advanced substrate factory, slated to be operational later this year.
The recent investments by Calumet have focused on expanding its manufacturing campus to more than 200,000 square feet. This is the fourth expansion in the company’s history. Situated in the heart of a rural community, the growing campus is bustling with a highly trained workforce, additional engineers, refined processes, and state-of-the-art equipment. Moreover, Calumet’s investments extend beyond infrastructure and equipment. To support its expanded production, the company has made substantial investments in its people and culture, emphasizing SOP training to cultivate a team of top-tier producers.
Todd Brassard, Chief Operating Officer of Calumet, commented, “As we scale up our expanded production, we are seizing more opportunities to provide quotes. Depending on the complexity of the PCB design, domestically produced orders can ship in approximately three to five weeks. We are equipped to deliver standard work promptly and tackle the industry’s most complex challenges with our world-class team and cutting-edge facility, right here in the U.S.”
Calumet is one of the few American companies wholly committed to manufacturing PCBs domestically. While majority of domestic PCB production moved offshore over the past few decades, leaving only 4% of the world’s PCB manufacturing in the U.S., Calumet Electronics remains steadfast in its commitment to zero offshoring – both now and in the future.
In a landscape where other board shops are closing their doors, Calumet’s strategic plans have positioned the company as a leader in PCB and substrate manufacturing in the United States.
