ProvenMetal
Overview
ProvenMetal manufactures the fastest circuit boards in the United States.
Domestic circuit board manufacturing is slow and expensive, and while reshoring is happening, the supply chain isn't there yet.
We automate the bottlenecks - part procurement, DFM review, and assembly - delivering circuit boards in days instead of weeks.
