We were established in 1975, and service the needs of all sectors of the worldwide electronics industry. We continue to build on our industry relationships through our policy of continual investment year-on-year in the latest PCB technologies, and are recognised as one of the leading pcb manufacturing companies in the UK.
WHAT CAN THE PCB DIVISION DO?
We specialise in producing small to medium batch quantities from 24 hour turnaround. Standard turnaround is typically 10 to 12 working days. We understand the need for maintaining our customer’s competitiveness, therefore we also offer offshore volume supply options, utilising our experience in monitoring and testing to ensure that offshore enjoys the same quality systems as in-house production.
Whether the design is plated through hole, controlled impedance, backplanes, bonded heatsinks, multilayer to 24 layers+, microvia, buried/blind via, or even flexi-rigid, we have the experience and ability to produce your design.
Our manufacturing processes use state of the art pcb manufacturing equipment such as Laser Direct Imaging, depth drilling with 300k spindles, Soft Touch flying probe testing, pusle electoplating , 4 slot innerlayer tooling, enviromentally friendly direct legend printing, and a host of other key processes. These processes and others, allow us to hold very tight tolerances.

WHAT MAKES THE PCB DIVISION DIFFERENT?
Our PCB Division not only enjoys over 30 years of experience in the small to medium scale development and production of PCBs, but also maintains a client portfolio which stands as testament to the company's long-term reliability. In many cases our clients who have been with the business for over a decade. We believe this is due to the company's efforts to recognise and meet the particular needs of each customer.
Quality is key to the PCB division but not at the expense of price. We pride ourselves on the ability to deliver on time, to a competitive budget, with quality that will encourage repeat business.
Front End Engineering Ability
We have a wealth of front end engineering ability, most of our Front End Engineers, have been in the Printed Circuit Industry for 20 years. The combined front end experience of our 12 tooling engineers is over 200 years, this with the combination of sophisticated computer systems ensures we have the right knowledge to engineer your design for manufacturability, and help design quality in. All designs are fully design rule checked, and verified to net lists during engineering and subsequent automatic optical inspection and electrical testing of your product. Our tooling department is manned 24 hours a day.
We have 3 tooling sites, 1 in our main site in Musselburgh, and 1 in the Borders of Scotland, and another site in the West of Scotland.
Production Facilities
Our production facility is well manned with a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce, and our equipment purchasing strategies ensure that our state of the art production facility is well equipped with the latest in pcb manufacturing technologies, such as imaging processes like Laser Direct Imaging and soft touch probe testing, and with our fundamental commitment to quality, delivery and service, with continuous improvement programmes utilising a variety of process & quality control tools, backed up with our fully equipped laboratory, ensures our customers of an outstanding service from a world class manufacturer.
We have the ability to produce uBGA devices using Laser Direct Imaging technology, and we are able to test these devives using soft touch probes, which leave NO witness marks
