Is your business looking to follow the growing re-shoring trend and bring your PCB assembly back to the United States? For years, cheap labor and shipping costs enticed companies to outsource their manufacturing overseas. But recent economic changes, both home and abroad, are showing it can be more cost-effective to manufacture at home. PCB manufacturers in the USA also offer benefits that overseas manufacturers can’t beat.

Improved customer service - Time zones and language barriers can result in miscommunication and delays that can greatly affect cost and production times. When dealing with PCB manufacturers in the USA, you can pick up the phone and get a response right away. You are also talking directly to the company, not a middleman. This means you are connected with someone who understands your needs and is a position to implement immediate solutions.
Latest technology and standards - US-based PCB assembly services are held to higher labor and workmanship standards than overseas manufacturers. As a result, you are guaranteed a quality product that will meet the demands of the market. Our facilities and equipment are state-of-the-art and efficient, meaning lower production costs for you.
Better shipping at a lower cost - Between fuel costs, import fees, and logistics, overseas shipping is increasingly expensive. Conversely, shipping costs within the US - even for large shipments - are far more reasonable. Distance is also on your side. A shipment that would take weeks to arrive from India or China can cross the States in a matter of days.
Support the US economy - Consumers look favorably on companies that create local jobs. Studies have also shown that people are willing to pay more for a product if it is manufactured in the United States. When you choose a USA PCB manufacturer, you can proudly add a “Made in the USA” label to your product. Don’t be surprised if sales increase as a result!
Fewer business risks - Sending your product to an overseas manufacturer means risking the theft of your product design and losing sales to counterfeit products. You also risk important instructions (shipping terms, product specifications, etc.) getting lost in translation, resulting in lost production time and useless products.
Overseas manufacturing may appear “cheaper” up front, but it will cost you in the long run. Trust your product to a US-based PCB assembly company with over 35 years of experience and call Telan today at 215-997-7603.
