Asian Circuits upgrades China facility
Toronto-based PCB assembly services firm, Asian Circuits, has completed its expansion and technology upgrade of its PCB Fab and Assembly Facility.
Located in Shenzhen, China, the facility has been expanded to over 35'000 square feet including the addition of new assembly and testing equipment. This expansion project will enable Asian Circuits to provide its contract manufacturing services more quickly with greater output in order to accommodate a growing demand for its services.
