A leading U.S. provider of ceramic-based microelectronic packaging, assemblies, substrates, and components applied across the electronics industry announced today that, after a year-long construction project, it has completed its new, 55,000 sq. ft. facility in Canton, Massachusetts.

With an investment of more than $12 million (86.7 million RMB) in the project, Remtec indicates that the move will result in increased capacity, new manufacturing and process capabilities, and increased vertical integration; some new employment opportunities; and highly tangible value for U.S. customers looking to onshore their supply base.

The project also resulted in positive economic ripple-effects for the local economy, not including an increased positive impact on the area’s tax base.

“This new and far more modernized facility doubles the footprint of the Norwood facility we’ve called home since our founding in 1992,” said Remtec’s president, Brian Buyea. “In turn, the larger physical space allows us to expand capabilities that add value and electronics content for our customers; allows us to vertically and more cost-effectively integrate some of the processes we previously outsourced; and increases capacity for both incoming materials and completed products, so we can ship on demand. It even gives us more space for engineering, collaboration, and back-office functions – which makes us more competitive and is also resulting in a nice boost in employee morale.”

Buyea also emphasized that the new facility, recently announced workforce development grant, and stepped-up activity/involvement as a new member of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA) are well timed to leverage America’s recent strategic efforts and investments in “re-onshoring” electronics manufacturing and supply bases -- exemplified by the Chips & Science Act of 2023 and Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates Act of 2023.

Located in Canton’s Campanelli Circle industrial park, Remtec’s new facility has also had a multiplying economic impact on the regional economy when supplier contributions are factored in. 

“Having just passed our 30th anniversary, this new facility certainly sets us up for stability, growth, and opportunities for decades to come,” concluded Buyea.

Remtec plans to celebrate the opening of the new facility with an official ribbon-cutting, open house, and tours for elected officials and other stakeholders later this spring.
