About Linear Manufactureing

Linear Manufacturing has operated from Colorado Springs, Colorado since its founding in 1995. The company provides full-service electronics contract manufacturing, spanning surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly, through-hole assembly, mixed-technology PCB assembly, box build, and rapid prototyping. Its SMT lines handle components down to 0.0402 package size, with plans to reach 0.0201, and support both low- and high-volume throughput, single- and double-sided placement, BGA placement and rework, and fine-pitch placement. Engineering design services are delivered through a long-standing partnership with KS Technologies, a Colorado Springs firm specializing in mobile hardware accessories, applications, and cloud services; both companies hold Apple MFi certification. Linear also offers design-for-manufacturing (DFM), design-for-test (DFT), and design-for-assembly (DFA) support, turnkey and consigned material management, statistical process control, and comprehensive inspection and test. The facility employs IPC-610 certified operators, though total headcount is not published. Linear serves original equipment manufacturers across aerospace, oil and gas, medical devices, Bluetooth and GPS technology, water and wastewater treatment, security devices, controllers, sensors, cleaning equipment, and irrigation controllers. Case studies illustrate work for an oil and gas company needing pipeline-monitoring electronics, an asset-tracking startup that met a Consumer Electronics Show deadline, a medical device firm achieving FDA compliance on legacy boards, an aerospace customer requiring legacy product duplication with counterfeit-part prevention, and a wastewater treatment company completing an abandoned design. The company states its differentiation lies in turnkey solutions that free customers to focus on innovation, strategic supplier alliances that improve pricing and accountability, a commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing at high quality standards, and a culture described as "real people doing business with real people."
