The Top 5 Reasons OEMs Are Choosing U.S.- Based PCB Assembly Partners in 2025
As global pressures reshape the electronics industry, more OEMs are reevaluating their supply chains and turning to U.S.-based partners for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. In 2025, domestic manufacturing isn’t just a patriotic move — it’s a strategic one.
At Micron Corporation, we’ve seen firsthand why OEMs are making the shift. Here are the top five reasons:
1. Faster Turnaround Times
Time-to-market is everything. Working with a U.S.-based assembler drastically reduces shipping delays, customs holdups, and timezone misalignment. Micron’s agile processes help OEMs accelerate production without sacrificing quality.
2. Increased Quality and Traceability
When you manufacture locally, quality assurance improves. You gain clearer communication, easier auditing, and real-time traceability. At Micron, we adhere to rigorous inspection standards and maintain complete documentation for every board we assemble.
3. Simplified Communication and Collaboration
Working across continents can lead to missed emails, misinterpreted requirements, and production errors. With a U.S.-based partner like Micron, collaboration is seamless — from initial DFM consultation to final delivery.
4. Intellectual Property Security
Sensitive designs deserve protection. U.S.-based assembly offers stronger legal safeguards for your intellectual property, helping prevent unauthorized replication or data leaks.
5. Support for Onshoring and Sustainability
Partnering with domestic manufacturers reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance logistics. It also supports national resilience and local economic growth — values increasingly important to today’s OEMs and their customers.
