Why Onshoring Is Accelerating
Global turbulence in 2025—tariffs, port congestion, and compliance complexity—is driving U.S. companies to shift PCB assembly operations stateside.
Supporting Data:
25–30% tariffs on PCB imports from China
Over 60% of OEMs considering U.S. assembly (IPS Assembly, 2025)
Growing demand for IPC Class III standards in high-reliability industries
Strategic Benefits of Onshoring

The Hidden Costs of Offshore Manufacturing
Hidden costs add up fast:
Rework from poor quality control
Design delays due to time zone gaps
Cybersecurity vulnerabilities with overseas vendors
CO-AX report: Firms saw an 18% reduction in TCO after switching to U.S. assembly.
How to Succeed in U.S. PCB Manufacturing
Partner with IPC-certified U.S. assemblers
Invest in workforce training and automation
Collaborate on design from prototyping to production
Final Thoughts
The reshoring movement is paving the future of U.S. innovation. Onshoring PCB assembly enhances supply chain control, quality assurance, and long-term profitability.
