News Release Media Contact: Jon Pushkin, Pushkin Public Relations ADVANCED ASSEMBLY DOUBLES ITS CAPACITY TO MEET GROWING DEMAND FOR MACHINE PLACED, PROTOTYPE PCB ASSEMBLY Despite a down economy, Colorado company specializing in quick-turn, low-volume projects for engineers continues to grow, bucking the trend toward off-shoring electronic assembly services Denver, CO – October 29, 2008 – Advanced Assembly, a Denver-based provider of precision printed circuit board (PCB) assembly services, recently completed a major expansion that significantly increased its capacity to meet the growing demand for low-volume and prototype electronic assembly. The expansion doubled the company’s factory and office space, allowing it to add additional high-tech automation equipment and hire new staff. At a time when the economy is forcing many U.S. manufacturing companies to eliminate positions or send jobs overseas, Advanced Assembly’s staff grew by 51 percent in 2008. CEO and founder Lawrence Davis said that the company expects to hire additional staff now that the expansion is complete. “Our proprietary automated system allows us to assemble low-quantity projects faster, cheaper and easier,” said Davis. “Engineers appreciate that we can reduce costly errors and deliver completed projects 87 percent faster compared to doing it themselves.” Advanced Assembly was founded to solve an important problem facing engineers who needed help assembling small PCB orders with increasingly small SMT (surface mount technology) parts. Hand assembly is time consuming and prone to errors, which can lead to production delays and added stress for the designers. Advanced Assembly’s patented process quickly machine places small parts in small quantities, which reduces errors and costs and delivers projects faster with more precision. With its newly installed computers and machinery, the company can now offer this unique service to even more engineers. Even cut-tape and loose parts are machined placed with precision. “We are really excited about this expansion,” said Davis. “Other manufacturers may be cutting services, but we see plenty of opportunities for growth in 2009.” About Advanced Assembly Advanced Assembly is a Denver, Colorado company specializing in quick-turn, precision assembly for design engineers needing low volume or prototype printed circuit board assembly. The company’s engineers are trained and experienced in advanced assembly technology, and the in-house assembly facility features the latest equipment and testing solutions.
