Earlier in May, Lab Circuits started the excavation works to kickstart the construction of the expansion of its facilities in Barcelona, Spain.
The expansion will consist of four phases, spread out over the course of three years. Once all four phases are completed, Lab Circuits' available surface area will have doubled and many of the older facilities will have been modernised.
The company states that the first phase alone will allow for a considerable expansion of the warehouse, as well as three production departments.
"This project, ambitious in size and scope, will allow us to lay a very solid foundation for the technological and capacity growth that will be demanded in the near future. At Lab Circuits we believe that the printed circuit board and high-tech electronic components sector can play an important role in Europe, and we do not want this capability to disappear completely and compromise our technological self-sufficiency. We are convinced that we can be an active part of this commitment, together with our customers, suppliers and employees". Xavier and Albert Angel, managing directors, comment.
As previously reported by HNPCA, PCB production has been steadily migrating from Europe and North America to Asia since the early 2000s.
Back in 2000, Europe's domestic PCB manufacturing accounted for 16% of the global total; by 2022, this figure had dropped to 2.3%. At the same time, the number of European PCB manufacturers fell from 555 to around 180, as pointed out by the European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC).
