"This new brand represents our commitment to powering the next generation of technology, from healthcare to aerospace and defense to consumer products."
"The semiconductor industry continues to grow quickly in North America and across the globe. American-made AdvancedPCB is well positioned to service this growth," Austin adds. "Our products and solutions extend through global markets, providing enterprises in myriad sectors outside of North America with the same range of security, reliability, and quality standards that customers within the United States have come to expect."
AdvancedPCB operates six PCB manufacturing sites and four PCB design sites across the United States, employing nearly 1,000 people and already serving as the second largest PCB manufacturer in North America. With an expansive factory network and design capabilities, AdvancedPCB can manufacture a wide range of customized circuit boards, from simple prototypes to complex production, all while providing unmatched high-quality technology and turn times.
AdvancedPCB also launches its new website today, allowing engineers, makers, engineering students, and procurement professionals to quickly find the type of products and design services they require for the next wave of advanced technology. PCB enthusiasts and designers alike can create custom designs and get instant quotes. Customers can also take advantage of discounts and savings during the company's first annual pcbday™ on July 9, 2024.
