About WORLD electronics
WORLD electronics is headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania. The company was founded in 1991 and became a Rado family business in 1986 when Joe Rado purchased it. In 1999, the current facility in Reading was opened. The business is now led by the women of the family and is WBENC certified as a woman-owned enterprise. The company provides printed circuit board assembly, box build, and turnkey manufacturing services for low to medium volume, high mix production. Its 100-plus employee facility operates six independent surface mount lines, through-hole soldering, wire bonding (Kulicke & Soffa 8090), automated optical inspection, X-ray, in-circuit and functional testing, burn-in, cleaning, component procurement, programming, rework, and pin insertion. Engineering services include design for manufacturability, test development, and new product introduction support. WORLD electronics serves the communications, networking, medical, defense, and industrial control industries. Its customers range from major OEMs to high-tech start-ups seeking prototype through production volumes. The company differentiates itself with a flexible floor layout that enables quick set-up and tear down for prototype runs, real-time job tracking via bar-coded ERP systems, and a culture rooted in the Rado family motto: “We do things other people don’t want to do.” As a WBENC certified woman-owned business, it emphasizes long-tenure employees and high workplace satisfaction.
