ETEMCO

About ETEMCO

ETEMCO was established in 1952 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by four entrepreneurs who set out to design and manufacture test equipment for the RCA picture tube factory. The business expanded from that initial contract into a full-service electronic and electromechanical manufacturing company, and it has remained in Lancaster for over seven decades. The company provides printed circuit board assembly services from prototype through production, specializing in high-mix, low-to-medium volume runs typically ranging from fewer than 100 units to 25,000 units depending on complexity. Its capabilities include surface-mount technology (SMT) with high-speed pick-and-place equipment, through-hole assembly, selective soldering, automated optical inspection (2D and 3D AOI), conformal coating and RTV dispensing via a PVA Delta 8 four-axis system, and PDR infrared rework for non-contact component repair. The firm emphasizes a seamless prototype-to-production transition and invests heavily in advanced equipment to maintain quality. ETEMCO serves customers in medical and healthcare (diagnostic imaging, implantable devices), telecommunications and networking (network infrastructure, wireless communication), industrial automation and controls, military and law enforcement, transportation and mobility (automotive, aerospace, maritime), and security and access control (motion sensors, security sensors, linear drives). The company also supports broadcast equipment and asset tracking applications. Founded on a mission of innovation and precision, ETEMCO differentiates itself through a quality-driven culture, on-time delivery focus, and responsive communication. The company states that quality drives its entire operation, from skilled production teams and precise component placement to stringent quality control, and it prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing quality to meet tight deadlines.
