29 August, 2024
From planning to development, it is crucial to choose the right contract electronic manufacturing (CEM) partner when developing a market leading product.
As a trusted Manchester-based CEM, UK Circuits has been at the forefront of electronics and printed circuit boards for nearly three decades with extensive experience in manufacturing products for our customers.
As a leading manufacturer, our quality service and offering are defined by three words: innovation, scale and demand.
Focusing on these three points, we have helped our customers’ thrive for over 25 years by enabling them to grow and prosper.
So, how do these qualities define us at UK Circuits?
Innovation at our core
We all know how quickly the world of electronics can change – today’s innovation is tomorrow’s norm!
Due to the fast-paced nature of our industry, we stay modern by adopting the latest manufacturing processes, materials, methods, equipment, machinery and more.
By having innovation at our core, we consistently deliver future-proof products while providing a manufacturing service that is both forward-thinking and practical.
With regular investment into our state-of-the-art facility in Middleton, we have been able to enhance product quality, operate faster and manufacture at a cost that gives the best possible value for our customers.
With our modern machinery, we can automate previously manual manufacturing processes, ensuring a faster production with outstanding quality and consistency.
We’re always on the lookout for ways to enhance the performance, reliability and efficiency of our manufacturing. By keeping ahead of industry trends, UK Circuits not only meets the current needs of our clients but also anticipates future requirements to stay one step ahead.
Scalable operations
One of the key challenges that growing businesses face is the ability to scale their operations to meet growing sales, demands and expansion plans - all without compromising on quality or efficiency.
As a contract electronics manufacturer, UK Circuits takes a flexible approach, ensuring our customers can vary how many units they need producing at a given point.
Our scalability enables clients to confidently expand their operations with ease, knowing that their manufacturing partner can keep pace with their growth.
Whether a company requires a small-batch production for a niche product or large-scale manufacturing for mass-market distribution, UK Circuits has the capabilities to adapt.
With a 20,000 square foot facility and a talented team of over 60 employees, we have the capacity to help you grow by quickly adapting to an increase in orders.
Alternatively, if you need to scale back your production towards the end of product life-cycle, we can do that too!
As a flexible CEM company, we grow alongside our customers, ensuring that never too few or too many products are manufactured and supplied.
Meeting demand
In an industry where time-to-market can make or break a product’s success, agility in manufacturing can be crucial.
At UK Circuits, we are committed to delivering quality production without sacrificing quality. Our streamlined processes and efficient supply chain management enable us to respond quickly to your time-sensitive demands.
From rapid prototyping to full-scale production, UK Circuits works closely with clients to ensure that their products are delivered on time and we can adapt quickly to the changing needs.
To maximise efficiency in our assembly processes, we have four independent (automated) production lines that each have a placement speed of up to 22,000 components per hour (0.16 seconds per component).
However, it’s not just the speed of our assembly processes that help us meet timely demands.
When using an overseas manufacturing partner, many businesses that are looking to cut costs often end up facing challenges with transport and shipping. Launching a high demand product in quick succession can be difficult when your products are made half way across the globe!
As a British-based manufacturer, we manufacture your electronics just around the corner, meaning you won’t need to worry about a lengthy wait of shipping.
