Local contract manufacturer focused on prototyping and new product introductions…

EMLinQ began operations on June 1, 2007, a newly formed company founded by four business partners who were previously part of the management team at a mid-sized EMS company that was subsequently sold. EMLinQ is headquartered in Moorpark, Calif. with the goal of manufacturing electronic product prototypes and facilitating the new product introduction process for companies across Southern California.

The company began operations on June 1, 2007, and is already manufacturing printed circuit board assemblies for eight customers. EMLinQ manufactures using three high speed SMT machines. The assembly line is set up for building both RoHS-compliant, and non-RoHS compliant products.

At their 55,000 sq ft. manufacturing facility, EMLinQ provides the following:

Sandro Aquilina, CEO comments: "It became clear that this is a service that is badly needed by companies in Southern California, as most contract manufacturers have left the market to move their manufacturing offshore. This has left an underserved market of companies in need of quick-turn services, high mix low volume manufacturing, sustaining engineering services as well as products that require a short supply chain due to dynamic market changes."
