PCB Assembly
AMI’s PCB Assembly capabilities are wide ranging and offer you a true “one stop shop”. For over 30 years, we have been building products that range from simple thru-hole technology, all the way up through a complex double sided SMT assembly, including mixed technologies on the same board. Our process is built around lean manufacturing methodologies; meaning we cut out the waste. Our engineering and production teams are well versed at understanding what the customer wants, and how to achieve those results needed on each assembly. So, whether it is a single unit or thousands per week, we want to meet you, review your requirements, and see how we can work together to build a lasting relationship.
Learn More About PCB AssemblyBox Build
Since its inception, AMI has always seen itself as a support mechanism for clients who need more than just a PCBA. Our factory and its 100 employee-owners strive to provide each client a full-service plan so to speak. We want you to be able to get it ‘all in one place” – thus we offer full box build. This entails not only building you the PCBA, but installing it into its housing, wiring up a harness, connecting peripherals on the box, installing power modules, providing software loads or specified testing. Whatever the whole package consists of, we want to see it, and help with its build. AMI prides itself in working with small to large companies on their entire build. Come visit us, bring your ideas, drawings, and project units – let’s discuss how we can make your success even better.
