The PCB and Chip industries are vitally important to the United States. A large percentage of semiconductor production happens offshore, which challenges our strategic capabilities as a nation. It’s imperative that the industry shift power and production back onshore, but smaller organizations have been struggling to keep up with technology – and cost – which ultimately led to the consolidation of numerous organizations.
With over 40 years of industry experience, AdvancedPCB is poised to lead the industry with a high-level focus on customer centricity and the unique ability to meet the demands of any PCB need, be it simple or highly complex. However, the need for greater domestic manufacturing and associated investment in this sector is a problem we all share and must band together to address. This rebrand will provide a window of opportunity for us to broaden the conversation and awareness of the important place we hold across industries and is a chance for us to work together to boldly redefine technology and drive our nation - and the global community - towards a brighter, more sustainable and interconnected world.
Today, more than 40 years after its founding, AdvancedPCB is the nation’s leader in printed circuit board solutions, offering full-scale design, fabrication, and assembly in-house consistently faster than the industry standard.
