Bittele Electronics Launched its PCB Assembly Capabilities in Malaysia
February 21, 2025 | Bittele ElectronicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Continuing the expansion of its global footprint, Bittele Electronics brought on line the newest addition to its global production capacity: three assembly lines located in Malaysia.
Consistent with its policy of remaining competitive in face of changing global trade conditions, Bittele is proud to now be able to offer US Clients specifically, a manufacturing option unaffected by tariffs recently announced on goods and services originating from Canada and China.
Bittele boards assembled in Malaysia follow the same strict quality standards our clients are accustomed to, and cater to the same client needs - from prototypes to low and mid-volume production. They are subject to the same quality control procedures and oversight that Bittele clients have come to expect - from Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) to X-ray inspection for BGA and QFN components, to functional testing, and in-circuit testing (ICT).
"We are excited to announce to our valued client base that we just expanded our global presence to Malaysia. This move allows us to better serve our US clients with high-quality PCB assembly solutions while remaining price-competitive in spite of tariffs," said Ben Yang, CEO of Bittele Electronics.
