UK Based Fabrication & Assembly Facility For over 60 years, we have specialised in the production of printed circuit boards. Equally competent in the fabrication and population of PCBs, we believe that our PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly processes are without equal. Read on to discover what we offer in terms of PCB assembly for any and all electronic devices.
Every printed circuit board we assemble is put together promptly and competently using the highest quality equipment and best techniques. As specialists in our field, we have a firm understanding of surface mount technology and draw on this knowledge as part of our assembly service. Surface mount device (SMD) soldering will be carried out using either multi-zone convection reflow or vapour phase ovens as appropriate. Their placement will be achieved via high-specification multi-head SMD placement machines. We have ten Yamaha I-pulse placement machines, the largest installed base in Europe.
Elsewhere, our manufacturing facility provides a range of other services. These include prototype PCB assembly and the in-house manufacture of laser-cut solder paste masks. All quotes for the latter are inclusive of tooling charges. As the only PCB assembly service in the UK that has its own laser cutting machine, we guarantee high-quality assemblies.
If you order through us, you may supply free issue kits, ask us to quote to source and supply component kits or use our BOM cost calculator to get an online quote. Our quotes are split into two parts: assembly costs and component costs (optional). We also supply a range of over 100 common resistors and capacitors free of charge.

At our UK base, we have the equipment and expertise to place all commonly available components, including demanding fine pitch BGAs and 01005 packages. Leaded (or through hole) soldering will be performed either by IPC qualified technicians or by automated selective soldering machines. On the rare occasions we do experience difficulty with a parts placement, we are fully equipped to professionally rework every type of component.
To ensure high standards for all PCB designs, we have many stringent quality control processes in place. This means that all solder joints will be inspected by optical comparison machine or 3D AOI (automated optical inspection). In-house X-ray inspection of any “under component” solder joints such as BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays) is offered as standard.
