employees

We have put together a highly skilled team and advanced technology to offer you speed and efficiency for printed circuit assembly. Every process is tried and tested for the maximum impact. As soon as your order arrives, it will be tracked right through to delivery.

94%

On a rolling 6 monthly basis our on-time delivery is currently 94%.

5-7 days

We can turn a PCBA project around as quickly as 6 days as we provide both services in one UK location, which reduces the risk of multi-site logistical complications.

Quality assured

At every stage of assembly, each printed circuit board is put through a series of stringent controls to ensure the highest quality standards. We guarantee that every PCB that leaves our factory meets exactly with our customers’ requirements.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly

Thanks to our specialist PCB assembly equipment and the expertise of our team, we have the capability to put down micro-BGAs by machine with our surface mount SMT PCB assembly equipment, or through-hole components by hand.

Smaller components (minimum 0.4 x 0.2mm). Greater number of components and many more connections per component.

Higher accuracy in component placement.

Increased flexibility with components placed on both sides of the circuit board.

Increased performance for high frequency parts (lower resistance and inductance of the connection).

Superior mechanical performance under shake and vibration conditions.

Greater predictability of component characteristics.

Faster assembly with more than 90,000 components placed per hour.

Assembly Equipment

Our PCB assembly facility was created in early 2005, with considerable investment in new, state-of-the-art equipment. Operated by our expert team, all PCB assembly equipment is calibrated for accuracy and efficiency, ensuring outstanding results

As we offer circuit board manufacture and assembly in one facility, we remove various logistical issues to bring you the best in value and quality. What’s more, we can also reduce any time required to generate tooling which means that we can produce your PCBs to order, fast.

Streamline your production

One single point of contact

At Garner Osborne each client has their own account manager who oversees every stage of the process.

A faster, more streamlined process

Not having to take time out of the production process to package boards safely for shipment and then transfer them to an alternative site saves time, money, labour and logistical headaches.

Reduced spoils

There’s always a risk of breakages and damages occurring when goods are shipped from one place to another.

Increased ownership for greater quality

When PCBs are moved from one site to another, it’s easy for the blame to be passed around when things go wrong. In turn, it can also be much harder to remedy.

Money Savings

You also remove all transportation costs of moving your boards from the manufacturer to the assembler.
