February 26, 2026 | Federal ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Federal Electronics, a leader in providing advanced electronic manufacturing services, has expanded its manufacturing capacity with the addition of an additional printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) line at its Hermosillo, Mexico facility. The expansion supports growing customer demand and increases nearshore capacity for high-reliability electronics programs.
Federal Electronics’ Hermosillo facility plays a central role in the company’s North American manufacturing network, offering proximity to key customers, a skilled workforce, and infrastructure designed to support demanding applications. Adding another PCBA line allows customers to scale production within the same regional footprint while maintaining consistent processes, quality controls, and program oversight.
Established in 2010, the Hermosillo operation employs more than 350 professionals and provides cost-effective, nearshore manufacturing for OEMs across the U.S. and Mexico. The facility is fully integrated with Federal Electronics’ headquarters in Cranston, Rhode Island, through a centralized IT and ERP system, ensuring aligned workflows, traceability, and quality standards across both locations.
With this additional PCBA line, Federal Electronics offers customers greater flexibility in managing volume, lead times, and program complexity while preserving the manufacturing discipline required for high-reliability markets.
“Adding this new PCBA line in Hermosillo gives our customers more room to grow while keeping their programs close to home,” said Ed Evangelista, President of Federal Electronics. “It’s about giving them flexibility and reliability without adding complexity.”
Founded in 1961, Federal Electronics provides printed circuit board assembly, electromechanical integration, and system-level builds for OEMs with complex, low- to mid-volume programs.
