In what many regard as a bold move, US President Donald Trump’s administration has announced sweeping tariff hikes on hundreds of Chinese imports, including printed circuit board (PCB) assembly services. The latest wave of tariff hikes due to the escalating US-China trade tensions has shaken up industries and global supply chains, with the PCB industry emerging as one of the most exposed sectors. Due to this sudden spike in the cost of Chinese imports, US businesses and Chinese suppliers are scrambling to adjust. 

The ripple effects of these changes are already being felt, particularly for small and mid-size US consumer businesses that use PCB products. These companies may suffer the most as they may not have the financial cushion or global reach to adjust quickly, so they either will have to pay the higher costs or look for alternative countries for their Printed Circuit Assembly requirements, including their local PCB companies. China currently dominates the PCB assembly market, accounting for over 50% of global production, thanks to its scale, low labor costs, and easy access to raw materials and components. However, with an increase in import tariffs, Printed Circuit Assembly companies from the United States have an opportunity to match the cost and quality expectations of these adjusting businesses. Hence, American businesses may look to diversify their supply chain to domestic PCB assembly service providers to avoid hefty tariffs and get quicker turnaround times, as domestic shipping is much faster and cheaper.

Here are some PCB companies from the United States that provide Printed Circuit Assembly services:

1. Summit Interconnect
2. ICAPE USA
3. Sierra Circuits
4. Epec Engineered Technologies
5. South Bay Circuits
