A New Captive PCB Facility in the U.S.
Diane Maceri and Jessi Hall discuss how Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) has been working with Alex Stepinski of GreenSource Fabrication to build their own captive PCB facility in Moscow, Idaho; the thought process behind that decision; and their involvement in the Managers Forum at IPC APEX EXPO 2021.
Barry Matties: Diane, can you give us an overview of the decision process to build a new captive PCB factory?
Diane Maceri: We produce a high volume of PCBs, they’re lower complexity, and we have great supplier partners, but we have to take into consideration that they’re buying equipment and working toward manufacturing more complex PCBs. There’s always that tension between the capacity we need, and the complex needs of making a higher profit margin.
