Alan Anderson (AA) Manufacturing Ltd, the UK’s newest full-capability PCBA and Value-Add CEM, has taken a unique step by building a portfolio of franchise agreements with suppliers of essential, commonly-used components. The purpose of having such a franchise base is to protect customers from shortages in the supply chain. The first deal to be announced is with Diotec Semiconductor, a German producer of discretes including small signal diodes, rectifiers, triacs, MOSFETs and TVS components.

Says Sales Director, Michael Knight: “When the market suddenly experiences a large demand, say for AI processors, this has a knock-on effect as there is not enough capacity to make all types of semiconductors. Naturally, the large producers tend to focus their capabilities on the high-end products that have the biggest margin, resulting in some common parts becoming hard to find, and/or expensive. Yet to build a PCBA you need everything – expensive ARM-based processors and simple discrete diodes. Any missing part will cause production lines to cease, no matter how little the individual component costs. By building franchise relationships with key suppliers of simple, widely-specified parts, we can ensure that our customers’ builds come in on time and on budget.”

Diotec has been established for over 50 years and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. All devices are tested 100% at least twice for the main data sheet parameters prior to leaving the company’s factories which are based in Europe, China and India.

About Diotec Semiconductor AG

Diotec Semiconductor AG is founded in 1973. From the beginning, the company specializes in the production of diodes and rectifiers and becomes a known brand throughout Europe.

Discrete semiconductors have always been essential components of electronic devices. Rectifiers in power supplies, transistors for switching and signal processing or protective elements in various circuits: Modern electronics cannot work without these parts.Since more than 50 years, Diotec has been active in this highly competitive market. 

About Alan Anderson Manufacturing Ltd

Alan Anderson Manufacturing Ltd was formed in 2022 to 'get Contract Electronics Manufacturing right'. The founders believe that traditional UK CEMs have not always delivered the high service levels demanded by customers, and so have set the company up to be very different from other CEMs. Occupying a 17,000 sq ft facility in Hemel Hempstead, and part of a financially strong group of companies with a revenue of £21M, Alan Anderson Manufacturing delivers high quality, cost-effective contract electronic manufacturing services with exceptional levels of service.

With strong links to the electronic components distribution sector, PCB manufacturers and a long-established IC programming and taping & reeling business, Alan Anderson has invested over £2.0M in state-of-the-art manufacturing lines with an equally high calibre of skilled operators and seasoned directors. The company’s roadmap commits it to add more lines every time we pass 65% capacity.
