North Attleboro, MA — April 2026 — Distron, a leading U.S.-based electronics contract manufacturer, has officially added a second shift to its operations, significantly expanding production capacity and enabling builds to move seamlessly from day into night. The move comes as customer demand continues to grow across high-reliability industries where speed, consistency, and flexibility are critical.

has officially added a second shift to its operations, significantly expanding production capacity and enabling builds to move seamlessly from day into night. The move comes as customer demand continues to grow across high-reliability industries where speed, consistency, and flexibility are critical.

For DISTRON, the decision reflects a familiar approach: invest ahead of demand to ensure customers aren’t waiting when it matters most.

“We’re seeing increased demand across the board, especially for complex assemblies that require tight process control and quick turnaround,” said Robert H. Donovan, Owner and CEO of Distron. “Adding a second shift allows us to keep production moving continuously while maintaining the level of quality our customers expect.”

With operations now running through extended hours, DISTRON is better positioned to support both ongoing production and time-sensitive builds without bottlenecks. The added capacity also enhances flexibility for customers navigating fluctuating volumes, new product introductions, and accelerated timelines.

The expansion builds on DISTRON’s recent investments in advanced manufacturing capabilities, including its in-house automated conformal coating process. Designed to protect complex PCB assemblies from harsh environments, the system delivers consistent, repeatable coverage using programmable selective coating and controlled curing methods—critical for applications in medical, aerospace and defense, and industrial electronics.

Together, these capabilities allow DISTRON to not only produce more—but to do so with greater precision and reliability.

“Our customers are building increasingly sophisticated products, and they need a manufacturing partner that can keep pace,” Donovan added. “This isn’t just about more capacity—it’s about smarter capacity. We’re aligning our operations to support higher complexity, tighter timelines, and the kind of consistency that high-reliability markets demand.”

Founded in 1970, Distron has spent more than 55 years supporting OEMs across industries including medical, military, clean tech, lighting, industrial electronics, and robotics. Operating out of a 110,000-square-foot campus across three facilities, DISTRON provides a true one-stop shop for electronics manufacturing. Its capabilities include complex PCB assembly—ranging from surface mount and through-hole to flex circuits—along with full turnkey solutions, where DISTRON manages procurement, inspection, and kitting of materials.

In addition, the company offers electromechanical assembly, box build, and complete system integration, supported by robust testing, inspection, and quality systems. Downstream services such as warehousing, fulfillment, and supply chain management further enable customers to streamline operations and reduce time to market.

Now, with production running day and night, DISTRON is reinforcing its role as a steady, scalable partner for customers looking to move faster without compromising quality.
