Electronic Assembly
ECA provides electronic assembly services to Frederick, Maryland and
surrounding areas.
Another term for electronic assembly is electronic contract
manufacturing (ECM). In either case, the term refers to the process of
working on delicate electronic components. The work can include creation
(manufacturing or assembling) of the components as well as repairing,
testing and distributing the components.
Until the late 1970s, the majority of electronic assembly was handled
internally by the companies requiring the service. Eventually the industry
outgrew this business model, resulting in a boom for the
EMS industry.
Today, many EMS firms focus their electronic assembly services on
mega-firms, those producing consumer electronics and computers. At
Electronic Contract Assemblers we fill the void by seeking out customers who
have been neglected by these bigger contract manufacturing firms because of
their size (too small). Once again, whether you are looking for a
prototype assembly of 1 unit, or a production run of 1,000 boards, we at ECA
have the capability and desire to provide you with quality, cost effective
electronic assembly service.
