Buyer FAQ

Common questions about Contract Electronics Manufacture (EMS / CEM)

PCBA only or full box build?

If you also need enclosure, cables, firmware load and final test, a box-build EMS partner is usually faster and cheaper than coordinating multiple suppliers.

Who handles component sourcing?

Most UK EMS providers will procure components on your BoM, though they may ask you to supply long-lead or allocated parts. Confirm the split upfront.

What about low-volume production?

Many UK EMS specialise in low and mid volumes (10s to 10,000s). For very high volumes, ask about offshore options and landed cost.
