Electronics Assembly & PCB Manufacturing

Electronics assembly services provide PCB assembly, product assembly, and electronics manufacturing for hardware startups and companies outsourcing production.

With IoT and electronics products growing and companies seeking US-based manufacturing, assembly services generate revenue of $300,000-$900,000 annually with profit margins of 25-40% through assembly contracts and production runs.

The business requires SMT assembly equipment (pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens), testing equipment, ESD-safe workspace, and trained technicians.

Services include PCB assembly (SMT and through-hole), electronics testing, product assembly, programming, and packaging.

Pricing typically includes setup fees ($500-$5,000) plus per-unit assembly costs.

Success factors include quality assembly, testing capabilities, flexibility for prototypes to production volumes, and component sourcing assistance.

Minimum quantities typically 50-500 units for prototypes, 1,000+ for production.

Common clients include hardware startups, IoT device companies, industrial equipment manufacturers, and medical device companies.

Marketing focuses on demonstrating assembly quality, testing capabilities, and US-based manufacturing advantages.

With electronics manufacturing returning to US in 2025 and hardware startups launching products, electronics assembly offers opportunities for entrepreneurs with electronics expertise willing to invest in assembly infrastructure.
