About Proxy Manufacturing - MA (Electronic Manufacturing Services, PCB Assembly Service)

Proxy Manufacturing, Inc. has operated as an electronic contract manufacturer from Methuen, Massachusetts since 1988. The company serves customers across New England and the United States. President Kathleen Dugas leads the business, which holds HUBZone and small-business certifications. The 30,000-square-foot facility houses three surface-mount lines, a dedicated prototype lab, and separate through-hole and box-build areas. Processes cover prototype and new-product introduction, printed-circuit assembly, system integration, and rework or engineering-change-order implementation. The lines handle leaded and RoHS soldering, placing components as small as 01005, with BGA placement, X-ray inspection, BGA re-balling, mixed-technology assembly, cable assembly, and automated optical inspection. The company supports both quick-turn and volume production runs. Proxy serves commercial, industrial, defense, and medical markets. Long-term clients include True North Technologies, which has used Proxy as its sole contract manufacturer since 2003 for sensor devices, and Fraunhofer CMI, which relies on the shop for specialized prototype surface-mount devices. The company also works with original equipment manufacturers seeking turnkey or consignment arrangements. Proxy emphasizes a stable workforce—management, project managers, and team leaders average more than 17 years of tenure—and an IPC-certified in-house trainer. The quality policy targets manufacturing excellence across quick-turn critical orders and turnkey solutions, with certifications including AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and ITAR registration.
