PCB Assembly and Electronics Manufacturing
At Active-PCB Solutions, we specialise in complex, high-reliability PCB assembly and electronics manufacturing services for OEMs across the UK. Operating from our manufacturing facility in Reading, Berkshire, we support customers who require precision, consistency and quality throughout the production process.
Our flexible manufacturing capabilities cover everything from prototype PCB assembly and New Product Introduction (NPI) to low-volume, high-mix production and ongoing manufacturing programmes. We work closely with customers to understand their technical requirements, helping to deliver reliable, repeatable assemblies for demanding applications.
Our UK facility combines advanced SMT and through-hole assembly with comprehensive inspection and testing, box build, conformal coating and specialist rework services. By managing these processes in-house, we maintain greater control over quality, traceability and production schedules while reducing the need for external suppliers.
Whether you’re developing a new electronic product or looking for a dependable manufacturing partner for an established design, Active-PCB Solutions provides the technical expertise, flexibility and manufacturing support to meet your requirements.
We provide conventional through-hole PCB assembly including flow soldering, selective soldering and precision hand soldering for complex and high-reliability applications.
Automated insertion and specialist assembly equipment support consistent quality, repeatability and efficient production.
Our advanced Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly capabilities support the manufacture of complex, high-density PCB assemblies where precision and repeatability are essential. Using automated Juki placement machines, DEK screen printers and BTU reflow ovens, we deliver consistent assembly quality across a wide range of component types and board configurations.
Our flexible production processes accommodate prototype builds, low-volume, high-mix manufacturing and larger production requirements, with inspection and testing integrated into the wider manufacturing process to support quality and reliability.
Our box build and system integration services extend beyond PCB assembly to provide complete electronic and electromechanical assemblies. Our capabilities include wiring, cable assembly, mechanical integration and other finishing processes, allowing customers to consolidate multiple manufacturing stages with a single UK partner.
By integrating PCB assembly with wider system manufacturing, we help reduce supplier complexity, improve production coordination and maintain consistent quality throughout the assembly process.
Our prototyping and New Product Introduction (NPI) services support the development of complex electronic assemblies, from initial prototype builds through to repeatable production.
By identifying potential manufacturing challenges early and working closely with customers throughout the development process, we help improve manufacturability, reduce production risks and support a smoother transition into ongoing manufacturing.
Our specialist PCB rework and refurbishment services support the repair, modification and upgrading of electronic assemblies, helping customers recover valuable components and extend product lifecycles.
Using dedicated rework equipment and experienced technicians, we can undertake complex component replacement and board-level modifications while maintaining appropriate quality controls throughout the process.
Through trusted manufacturing partnerships in China and Central Europe, we provide reliable high-volume PCB assembly solutions supported by UK-based project management and customer support.
We oversee the entire process on your behalf, helping to simplify supply chain management while maintaining quality, communication and delivery oversight.
Our in-house conformal coating facility in Reading provides additional protection for PCB assemblies operating in demanding environments.
Using automated selective coating, supported by board washing, controlled curing and UV inspection, we help protect electronic assemblies against moisture, contamination and chemical exposure.
Integrating conformal coating into our wider manufacturing process also supports quality control, traceability and efficient production.
Our advanced manufacturing equipment, comprehensive PCB testing and inspection capabilities and experienced production team allow us to deliver reliable, high-quality PCB assembly for complex and demanding applications. From prototype development through to ongoing production, quality and consistency remain central to our manufacturing processes.
