Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing, LLC (SSM), an American-owned company dedicated to producing secure printed wiring boards and advanced assembly solutions in the MidWest USA, today announced the acquisition of a complete surface mount technology (SMT) line from Manncorp. This investment will significantly enhance SSM’s manufacturing capabilities, allowing them to provide scalable, cost-effective, and secure U.S.-made technology to the aerospace, defense, and energy sectors, as well as to startups and commercial enterprises.
The new SMT line features a range of state-of-the-art equipment, including an AP435 automatic stencil printer, an MC388HS 8-head pick and place machine, a CR5000 reflow oven, an inline 500LA AOI, an MX1 X-Ray machine, a Trident LDO stencil clear, and a NEO-L selective solder machine. The purchase also includes all the necessary board handling equipment to make the SMT line a full touch-free operation. This comprehensive suite of tools will enable Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing to deliver high-quality, reliable, and secure electronics manufacturing services.
“Manncorp’s sales team was extremely knowledgeable and helped us select the best equipment for the flexibility in contract manufacturing,” said Bart Massey, President of Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing. “Chris Ellis not only helped us determine the right equipment, he even helped lay out the factory floor for the most efficient operation.”
Massey also praised Manncorp’s post-sales support: “Manncorp’s service has been awesome in helping us get the operation running smoothly. They are extremely knowledgeable and always available to assist. Eric Bach, in particular, has been a great asset, remoting in and solving any programming issues immediately.”
This acquisition represents a significant step forward for Secure Semiconductor Manufacturing in its mission to strengthen America’s technological independence. In a further move to bolster domestic supply chains, SSM is also rolling out a bare board manufacturing line, slated to be operational by the end of 2025.
