Contract Manufacturing for Chicago, IL.
Contract manufacturing for Chicago hardware teams. One RFQ. One accountable partner across PCB, PCBA, cable harness, CNC, injection molding, and box build.
Manufacturing support across the full hardware supply chain in Chicago
PCB Manufacturing
Bare-board PCB fabrication — rigid, flex, rigid-flex, and HDI — through a hand-picked manufacturer bench.
PCB Assembly
SMT, through-hole, BGA, and mixed-technology assembly — prototype quantities through full production.
Cable and Wire Harness Assembly
Custom cable assemblies, wire harnesses, and overmolded connectors built to IPC/WHMA-A-620.
CNC Machining
Milled and turned parts in aluminum, steel, stainless, brass, and engineering plastics — prototype to production.
Injection Molding
Custom plastic parts and enclosures, from prototype tooling through full production molds.
Box Build Assembly
Full electromechanical assembly, integration, testing, and packaging — from sub-assemblies to finished product.
Prototype to Production
End-to-end support from quick-turn prototypes through bridge builds and long-term production runs.
Built for the hardware teams shaping what's next in Chicago
Build approach for Chicago programs
For Chicago programs, our network includes domestic facilities for fast-turn and ITAR-controlled work and overseas facilities for cost-sensitive production volume. Chicagoland's deep industrial base (Caterpillar, Motorola, Abbott) demands ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and IATF partners across PCBA, machining, and box-build — our Midwest bench covers the full mix.
A industrial equipment startup in Chicago needs a different supplier than a medical devices OEM — SmartFab's job is to place each build on the right line in our network, not push every program through the same shop.
