Vertically Integrated Manufacturing Primed to Support

From board assembly to fabrication to magnetics to mechanical assembly and everything in between—we do it all under one roof. Our manufacturing goal is to make whatever we can in-house and to continue developing our internal capability. This allows us to remain flexible and nimble, to achieve rapid prototyping and production, and to collaborate with all departments—delivering products that perform and protect in demanding domains.

We use automation where it makes sense to do so, but our products are hand-made. With a focus on our people, we ensure our expert staff is cross-trained and has the tools necessary to skillfully complete procedures. Our dedicated, experienced pros are committed to quality and are the secret sauce behind our power solutions.
