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:
- Prototype Assembly
/ Quick Turn
- Continuous Flow
- Mid to High Volume
SMT and PHT

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."
