Material Insight: Diversifying PCB Manufacturing Through Nearshoring
06/26/2024 | Dr. Preeya Kuray -- Column: Material InsightIn recent years, there has been a notable shift in the electronics manufacturing supply chain landscape. However, the global supply chain for the domestic PCB industry has been steadily shifting since the 1980s, when the United States began offshoring PCB manufacturing to other countries. But because of the quality control issues, rising international tariffs, and unclear intellectual property protection involved in offshoring, reshoring has become a particularly hot topic.
SMTA Oregon Event Spreads Its Wings
