Lightspeed Marks First-Year Anniversary
September 22, 2004 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Methuen, Mass. — Lightspeed Manufacturing has marked its first anniversary in business, and is seeing a rapid increase in orders in recent months, after surviving the crippling downturn in U.S. electronics manufacturing that began in early 2001.
Founded by electronics manufacturing industry veteran and BGA specialist Rich Breault, whose previous enterprise NETCO Automation was known for its expertise in BGA services and prototype development, Lightspeed has noted an upswing in activity and an increase in orders, a sign that some health is returning to the U.S. electronics packaging and assembly market.Lightspeed is doing box build, a lot of work with ECOs (engineering change orders), and more. The company specializes in building prototypes, and is seeing rapid growth in demand for this service. The company now offers low- to medium-volume assembly as well."During the electronics industry's economic downturn, Breault paid cash for new and even unused technology and equipment at auctions, etc. to furnish Lightspeed and provide the best workstations available, including soldering, reballing, X-ray inspection, reflow soldering, etc. at a fraction of their original cost.
