Electronic manufacturing services are available all round but not just any company will do. You have to partner with an organization that meets certain criteria for your PCB assembly. There are certain things that you must consider when looking for such a partner. The first consideration should be whether or not the operators or engineers employed there are qualified and experienced. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for this information when selecting a PCB assembly company to work with.

Look to find out if the organization and the operators are qualified to work with the products that are the latest in the market. If they do not have the proper certification find out how long it would take them to get the required credentials. It is also appropriate for you to find out if they are certified for any quality standards at all. You want to ensure that they are certified in the standards that you deem necessary.

One thing that most people do not consider when looking at electro mechanical assembly companies is the proximity of the said company to where you are located. This is especially important in the beginning stages of your project. You want to be able to drive to the company premises in case you need anything. In the event that there is a need for you to react fast for whatever reason, a company that is close by will provide the necessary agility especially if you are pressed for time.

Depending on how much work you need done, you will have to consider the delivery aspect of the company you want to partner with. Can they deliver a large order within your given time frame? Find out as well if they have the necessary parts stored at the plant or if they need to import any. Of course if you are in a hurry to start production waiting for a shipment to come in may delay your project. Because you are outsourcing this job to professionals, make sure that they in turn do not outsource your work elsewhere for whatever reason.

A really good sign of the quality produced by a company is if they have the ISO 9001 or AS9100 Certified manufacturing facility. This means that they can produce aero as well as military quality PCAs. This is a company that will be working with the latest model of all equipment such as equipment for soldering as well as the reflow ovens.
