Doubling Down on Smooth Production

Having two facilities minimizes the risk of project interruption

Risk is something every manufacturer has to contend with, whether that’s fiscal risk in the marketplace, or risk to the physical assets of the company. In fact, each year ISO-certified manufacturers are required to perform a detailed risk assessment to appropriately plan for catastrophic events and unforeseen circumstances.

Among other things, risk assessment analyzes the potential for the disruption of the product path, which can jeopardize the product or component, as well as the short- and long-term financial outlook of the manufacturer.

It makes it equally important for customers to ask a prospective PCB manufacturer, “What’s your backup plan?”

Here’s ours.


Niche has two identical facilities: one in Shippensburg, Pa, and one in Sarasota, Fla. These two facilities are set up with almost identical equipment and manufacturing software, so if a major disruption occurs at one location, production can resume at the other site with very little interruption.

In addition to the redundant equipment and software, these dual locations offer the same:

  • Quality Manager
  • ISO umbrella and registrar
  • Automatic Optical Inspection process
  • Enterprise system
  • And more

Customer Advantages of Turnkey Contract Manufacturing

When a business embarks on a manufacturing project — like the construction of printed circuit boards, wire harnesses, and cable assemblies — they often have two choices when it comes to the process: the turnkey approach or the consignment approach.
On the face of it, the consignment option, in which a business acquires its own materials and delivers them to the manufacturer, may seem more cost effective. However, we’ve found through years of experience that the turnkey approach, in which the manufacturer manages the parts and materials acquisition as well as the product construction, offers several compelling advantages related to cost, timeframes, and efficiency.
