ICZOOM Group Inc., a leading B2B electronic component e-commerce platform, has announced the introduction of its integrated printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and surface mount technology (SMT) assembly services at the IIC Shenzhen 2025. This announcement was made during the International Integrated Circuit & Component Exhibition and Conference held from August 26-28, 2025, at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

This strategic move signals ICZOOM's expansion beyond electronic component distribution, creating a more comprehensive profit model and service offering. The company's new services include a full-process suite—ranging from electronic component procurement, customs declaration, and smart warehousing to PCB manufacturing and SMT assembly, specifically designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

By partnering with high-quality manufacturers, ICZOOM aims to leverage its industry relationships to execute a capital-efficient expansion without significant upfront investments. This allows the company to enhance its existing one-stop order fulfillment services, strengthening its supply chain solutions for SME customers who often face challenges managing fragmented supply chains and multiple vendor relationships.

The launch at the high-profile IIC Shenzhen 2025 positions ICZOOM to capture additional revenue streams beyond its traditional component sales, potentially increasing its service offerings to include design, manufacturing management, and assembly services.

Founded in Shenzhen, China, ICZOOM Group Inc. continues to cater to the needs of SMEs in the consumer electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), automotive electronics, and industry control segments, with a focus on providing transparent and efficient e-commerce solutions for electronic component products.

TROY, MI ― Amtech Electrocircuits, a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, today announced the introduction of its proprietary automation model designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) production environments. This breakthrough approach integrates modular robotics, intelligent process design, and in-house software platforms to deliver the flexibility and speed that traditional automation systems lack.

Unlike rigid, high-volume automation lines, Amtech’s model is purpose-built for customers who demand rapid new product introductions, complex assemblies, and consistent quality across diverse product types. The system leverages scalable robotic cells, real-time data feedback, and dynamic factory layouts that can be reconfigured to meet changing requirements.

“Traditional automation wasn’t built with HMLV in mind,” said Jay Patel, President of Amtech Electrocircuits. “We developed this model to solve that challenge—giving our customers the agility to bring products to market faster while maintaining world-class precision and reliability.”

The automation framework has already been implemented within Amtech’s operations, where it has demonstrated measurable improvements in throughput, quality consistency, and cost efficiency. By combining robotics with proprietary control software, the model creates a smart, adaptive environment that balances efficiency with customization.

Amtech is an innovator in electronics manufacturing, providing customers with a solution that bridges the gap between flexibility and automation in today’s market.
