Choosing a PCB assembly partner is more than a purchasing decision. It shapes how reliably your product is built, how your production schedule runs and how confident you feel handing a design over to someone else.
At Active EMS, we have shaped our service around what our clients tell us matters most. This is what you should expect from any reliable PCB assembly partner, and how our services support those expectations.
-
PCB Assembly That Is Consistent and Repeatable
A dependable partner has stable processes, trained technicians and a disciplined workflow. PCB assembly should not vary from batch to batch.
Our assembly process is built on that consistency. From surface mount placement to manual work, every step follows controlled procedures that protect quality and repeatability. The result is the same standard every time, whether you are ordering a low volume run or a long-term production contract.
-
Design for Manufacture Support That Reduces Avoidable Cost
A strong partner does more than assemble a board. They help you build one that performs well and can be produced efficiently.
Design for Manufacture should offer early input on layout, spacing, component choices and test access to remove avoidable complications and should reduce overall build time and identify potential cost saving alternatives. Even small adjustments can often prevent rework and improve long-term reliability.
We work with clients at the earliest stage where needed, keeping designs aligned with manufacturing reality.
-
Component Sourcing Through Authorised Distributors Only
Component quality sits at the heart of reliable PCB production. You should expect your partner to use authorised distributors and trusted franchised suppliers, with full traceability from manufacturer to board.
This is especially critical as counterfeit and nonconforming components rising across global supply chains. At AEMS, we source exclusively through authorised channels and maintain stock of key components to help stabilise pricing and minimise the risk of delays during periods of high demand.
-
PCB Production, Testing and Inspection
Production requires a partner who understands capacity planning and does not overstretch themselves to the point where quality or delivery suffers.
A disciplined production setup is reinforced by thorough inspection and testing. You should expect clear test procedures, documented checks and well-maintained equipment. These processes ensure that each board leaves the facility ready for use and built to the standard your product requires.
We take on a finite number of projects at any one time to protect delivery performance and ensure every build receives proper attention.
-
Custom PCB Enclosures
As products grow more compact and more complex, standard enclosures do not always fit the design intent. A capable partner should offer an alternative when your board needs something more precise.
Our team can support the design and production of custom PCB enclosures that align with your requirements. This often shortens the delivery chain by keeping more of the process under one roof.
-
Delivery and Transparency
Reliable delivery is one of the clearest indicators of a capable assembly partner. They should communicate early, set realistic timeframes and meet the dates they commit to.
We work with a 100% on-time delivery record and keep clients informed throughout every stage of their build so there are no surprises.
Your next PCB Assembly Partner
A capable PCB assembly partner should make the process easier, not harder. They should support your design, protect your supply chain and deliver work you can rely on every time.
If you are reviewing your options or planning upcoming builds, we are always open to discussing how our services can support your technical and commercial goals.
