Capacity expansion / 2026Recent investment
Expanded SMT capacity with Essemtec PUMA Ultra
Core Assemblies recently added a new Essemtec PUMA Ultra pick-and-place system to increase SMT capacity, improve flexibility, and support increasingly complex high-mix PCB assembly programs.
Advanced SMT capabilitySupports increasingly complex and miniaturized components with improved speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
High-mix flexibilityBuilt for prototypes, low- and medium-volume work, and larger scheduled orders where requirements can change.
Prototype through full productionSupports customers from prototype development through production builds.
Continued investmentReflects Core’s focus on precision, dependable quality, and long-term customer success.
Production capabilities
PCB assembly built around real production needs
Core builds from customer-provided bills of materials, drawings, schematics, component specifications, supplied kits, and manufacturing documentation—from prototype assembly through dependable repeat production.
