Global Reach - Expanding language support in Spanish and Japanese allows them to serve a broader international market, making our services accessible to more clients around the world.
2018 marked another expansion with the opening of a local support office in France to better serve the European market. Localized Support - Local office in France enables quicker resolution of technical issues and provides timely assistance, enhancing customer satisfaction within the European market.
In 2019, PCBWay introduced Flexible PCBs (FPC) and Rigid-Flex Boards, further extending the range of PCB solutions available to clients. Innovative Solutions - The introduction of rigid-flex boards offers compact and efficient solutions for complex designs, minimizing the need for connectors and ensuring high performance.
In 2020, PCBWay launched 3D printing and CNC services. Comprehensive Manufacturing - 3D printing and CNC services enable clients to create complete products, including electronic components and enclosures, streamlining the prototyping and production process.
In 2021, PCBWay invested in digitization, transforming their production line into a smart manufacturing system. Real-Time Monitoring - Clients can now monitor their PCB production in real-time, providing transparency and control over the manufacturing process, leading to higher product quality and customer satisfaction.
Starting in 2023, PCBWay actively participated in major trade shows such as Embedded World (Germany), Electronica (Germany), and Open Sauce (USA – CA). Industry Engagement - Participation in international trade shows allows them to connect with a wider audience, showcasing capabilities and strengthening presence in the global market.

Defense Speak Interpreted: If CHIPS Cuts Back, What Happens to Electronics Packaging Funds?
09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program. I found that CHIPS activities continue, but some corporations have delayed or canceled them because of budget cuts or corporation-specific problems. However, CHIPS integrated circuits—mostly administered by the Department of Commerce—don’t fully drive the electronics interconnection activity being funded by the government. Let’s cover the progress/status of other programs:

Global Citizenship: Chinese PCB Fabricators Will Remain an Important Part of the Supply Chain
08/06/2025 | Tom Yang -- Column: Global CitizenshipIn today’s hyperconnected electronics landscape, collaboration is no longer optional; it’s essential. No single country holds a monopoly on innovation, and no one company or country can go it alone. Electronics manufacturing is very much a global business, and this will not change, no matter how the tariffs and global trade winds are blowing. Whether you're a startup founder building your prototype, an aerospace engineer pushing the boundaries of performance, or a supply chain leader managing a complex global network, Chinese PCB fabricators have likely already touched your world.
