RCD began offering subcontract assembly services nearly 30 years ago, long before “outsourcing” became a household word. The service started at the request of a few customers who had visited our offshore resistor plants. Upon learning of our cost advantages, they asked if we’d consider assembling their products. Since that time, we’ve been involved in contract assembly as an important value-added service to our customers. Over half of our assembly projects are specialty items, those that don’t quite “fit” with the major CEM’s, so don’t hesitate asking us to quote on uncommon projects.
