ACD Offers Offshore Manufacturing Services

Automated Circuit Design (ACD), a leading supplier to the electronics industry, now offers offshore manufacturing services.

“Our focus has always been to provide complete design and manufacturing services that match our customers’ needs. The release of this model allows our customers who have products that are price-sensitive and require high-volume capacity to maintain their existing contact structure with us while receiving ACD quality and customer service at the lower price points,” commented W. Scott Fillebrown, President & CEO.

Since 1984, ACD has worked hard to meet or exceed customers’ requests and requirements. ACD recognizes that its customers outsource their manufacturing needs for several reasons, including reducing cost, maintaining focus on core activities and leveraging similar business processes between unrelated industries.

In addition to its quick-turn prototypes and domestic production, ACD offers a low-cost international manufacturing option. Customers have requested this service and ACD has responded. For customers who have products that are price-sensitive or that require introduction into the marketplace at a lower cost, ACD has responded with an approach that maintains the ACD quality at a lower cost point.

After careful preparation, ACD neutralizes the difficulties and fears that typically arise when companies attempt to establish overseas manufacturing capacity. Tim Tsui, ACD’s highly experienced International Production Manager, actively maintains and reviews ACD’s capabilities in the international marketplace.

Founded in 1984, ACD’s services comprise complete board layout services, ATE engineering services, DFM/DFA capability, printed circuit fabrication, component procurement, SMT and thru-hole mixed technology assembly, box build, rework, X-ray, flying probe and functional test, and development.
