About Creative Hi-Tech
Creative Hi-Tech Ltd. (CHTL) operates a 25,000-square-foot facility in Schaumburg, Illinois. The company was founded in 1998, beginning with a single pick-and-place machine in a 7,000-square-foot building. Over the following decades it expanded to two production lines equipped for both surface-mount and through-hole technology, adding advanced inspection and test equipment. The shop provides full-service printed circuit board assembly, from quick-turn prototypes to high-volume production runs. Capabilities include SMT, PTH, and mixed-technology assembly; BGA and micro-BGA placement down to 0201 pitch; lead-free and RoHS-compliant processes; box-build and system integration; wire harness and cable assembly; and rework and repair. In-house testing covers AOI, X-ray, and flying-probe inspection. The facility also supports PCB design, fabrication, and turnkey procurement. Customers span aerospace, military, medical, and electronic industrial products, as well as agricultural, automotive, pharmaceutical, wireless, telecommunication, defense, satellite, industrial electronics, computer, and business electronics sectors. Named references include Honeywell and several LED lighting manufacturers. The company emphasizes flexibility, taking orders as small as a single board, and promotes a secure, cloud-based workflow for BOM upload and digital build-data validation. ITAR registration and compliance with UL, CSA, FDA, and IPC standards are cited as differentiators, along with rapid lead times ranging from one day for quick-turn work to four to eight weeks for standard production.
