About Midwest Printed Circuit Services, Inc.

Midwest Printed Circuit Services, Inc. (MPCS) was founded in 1984 in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. The company has operated as a 100% U.S.-based printed circuit board supplier since its inception. MPCS manufactures printed circuit boards ranging from simple single-sided designs to complex 30-layer multilayers with blind and buried vias. The shop handles flex and rigid-flex circuits, metal-core and heat-sink boards, and copper plating on ceramic substrates. All processes — including sequential lamination, controlled-depth drilling, controlled-impedance routing, and a full suite of surface finishes (HASL, ENIG, OSP, immersion silver, white tin, carbon inks, etc.) — are performed in-house across two facilities on Circuit Drive. The company supports quick-turn prototypes through full production runs, backed by an engineering team that provides DFM feedback to reduce material usage and setup time. The customer base spans military, aerospace (including NASA and manned-space-flight programs), medical technology, telecommunications, automotive, government research, industrial controls, audio/video, agricultural electronics, and transportation. Testimonials cite military buyers, medical purchasing managers, and industrial supply-chain managers as repeat clients. MPCS emphasizes its all-domestic production, a stable workforce with an average tenure of 12 years, and a continuous-improvement philosophy that passes engineering-driven cost savings directly to customers. Certifications such as AS9100D, MIL-PRF-31032, MIL-PRF-55110, and IPC Class 3/3A underscore its focus on high-reliability markets.
