If you're still outsourcing your PCB assembly overseas, it's time to take a hard look at the growing risks that come with it. Global manufacturing is more unstable than ever—with ongoing tariff shifts, unpredictable pricing changes, and increasing delays. What may have worked for your business a few years ago could now be putting your margins and timelines at serious risk.

The Problem with Outsourcing

When you outsource your board assembly, you're not just paying for a service—you're taking on a gamble. Here's why:

• Tariff and Pricing Uncertainty: Fluctuating international trade policies mean you could be blindsided by cost hikes.
• Delayed Deliveries: Shipping holdups can slow your entire production cycle, impacting your ability to meet deadlines and hurting your sales.
• No Control Over Changes: If anything changes during production or transit, you're still responsible for the final cost before anything ships. That means zero leverage—and all the risk.

A Smarter, More Stable Solution

Bringing your production in-house is not just about control—it's about security. With Manncorp, you can own a complete SMT assembly line tailored to your needs, whether you're a small business or scaling operation.

Here's how it works:

1. We asses your production goals - both present and future.
2. You get customized equipment recommendations - based on your throughput, board size, complexity, and growth plans.
3. Expert installation and training - by Manncorp technicians who know this equipment inside and out.
4. Lifetime support - from a team that's committed to your success long after the sale.

We've specialized in helping businesses bring their SMT assembly in-house for over 55 years. It's what we do—and we're not going anywhere.

Budget-Friendly Ownership Options

Think in-house production is out of your budget? Think again.

For as low as $7,000/month, you could lease a $500,000 SMT line—no massive upfront capital needed. We offer flexible leasing options to help you take control without compromising your cash flow.

Incentives Are on Your Side

And here's some great news: The U.S. government wants you to reshore your production.

The Made in America Manufacturing Initiative (launched March 2025 by the U.S. Small Business Administration) is designed to support small manufacturers. It offers:

• Relaxed regulations
• Improved infrastructure
• Easier access to funding and grants

If you're an established business that qualifies, these resources could help offset the costs of reshoring your production. Consider exploring federal and state grant opportunities for your business.
