SHIPPENSBURG, PA – Niche Electronics, a leading electronics manufacturing services company, announced today the opening of its new location in Bedford, Massachusetts. The completely renovated production space replaces a phased-out smaller facility Niche had operated in nearby Waltham.

Niche Electronics crafts high-complexity circuit boards, wire harness and cable assemblies for many industries, providing services from new product introduction to volume production. The company’s new 11,000 square-foot location offers significant advantages to customers and employees. Among the significant upgrades:

• Space: Niche designed a new configuration that enables optimal production, with single-level manufacturing and equipment placement that maximizes efficiency.
• Environment: Niche’s larger, climate-controlled building offers an electro-static dissipative environment — incredibly important for reducing static electricity during manufacturing. State-of-the-art LED lighting will lower costs while improving visibility.
• Technology: The new location includes upgraded production equipment and RFID perimeter tagging that provides a secure environment. Newly installed IT infrastructure creates fast, secure connections to corporate servers, and an updated phone system improves communication.

Frank Bowman, CEO of Niche, said the new facility offers vastly improved workflow that benefits employees and significantly boosts production capacity.

“Our move into the clean, modern production space is a huge step up for our team and our customers,” Bowman said. “This is just the latest signal that Niche is committed to our program of expansion and continuous improvement.”

Bowman added that Niche will be adding to that location’s sales force, which will enable Niche to build on its reputation of responsiveness to customers and prospects.

The new facility enables Niche to maintain redundant sites in three geographical locations in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. This advantage enables the company to shift production in the event of service interruptions from machine outages, natural disasters, fires, or other unforeseen circumstances.

These three strategically located facilities also give Niche an optimal geographical reach, enabling personalized service to hundreds of high-tech customers within a three-hour drive.
