PCB and backplane assembly

Jabil’s roots lie in the assembly and testing of printed circuit boards. Today, from worldwide locations, we support high and low-mix PCB and backplane assembly for volumes that range from just a few units for prototypes, to modest quantities for pre-production, to hundreds of thousands in volume production.

Our assembly services are complemented by front-end product development capabilities including strong CAD layout and design experience. And of course, quality is always first; we employ DFX fundamentals as well as quality and data-tracking methodologies.
