Nortech Systems Launches PCBA Operations in Mexico
October 1, 2015 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nortech Systems Incorporated announced today that it has successfully launched printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) manufacturing at its Monterrey, Mexico, facility. This expansion – one of Nortech’s key strategic initiatives for 2015 – is designed to help support its North America-based customers by providing a high-value option to complement its existing, U.S.-based PCBA design, production and service capabilities.
“Adding a PCBA manufacturing option in Mexico has always been a popular request from our customers,” said Rich Wasielewski, president and CEO of Nortech Systems. “We’re happy to provide these partners a great option that provides high value with assuredness of Nortech’s strong quality and speed-to-market.”
Nortech initially established its Monterrey facility in 2002, focusing on complex wire and cable assembly production services. The facility features ISO 9001 certification and on-site manufacturing engineering support. The PCBA expansion – co-located next to existing wire/cable operations – offers both SMT and manual “thru-hole” production to meet growing customer needs.
In addition to Monterrey, Nortech also features PCBA manufacturing capabilities at its facilities in Mankato and Merrifield, Minnesota, along with related integration and box-build manufacturing services. All three facilities will share engineering, design and other support resources on projects to offer customers optimized scheduling and cost benefits.

Nolan’s Notes: Is Mexico the Pulse of Electronics in the Americas?
11/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast year, I attended SMTA Guadalajara, where I saw the results of the Mexican investment in electronics manufacturing. The U.S. was still operating under the Biden administration, and while Mexican EMS companies had expanded capacity to support EV manufacturing, the demand dropped significantly. In my conversations at the show, the sentiment was one of patience. They knew the EV business would likely come back. However, they didn’t expect an overhaul of U.S. trade agreements and tariffs that would shift a more diversified portfolio in Mexico’s direction.
