With Prime as your electronics manufacturing partner, we have you covered for your custom PCBA and box build requirements. From the design stage to End-of-Life, Prime supports your product’s entire life cycle, including initiatives to speed time-to-market, improve the reliability, and lower your prototyping and production costs.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

At the initial design stage, our Engineering Team will provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testing (DFT) services to help guide you towards designing a more manufacturable and cost-effective product. Our Manufacturing and Quality Teams will complete the NPI process by building your prototypes to your exact specifications.
