Pro-Active specializes in end-to-end solutions for printed circuit boards, encompassing electronics design, rapid prototyping, short-run and large-scale production, box builds, programming, testing, potting and conformal coating as well as software and firmware development.

"We are excited to add Pro-Active Engineering to Tide Rock‘s growing group of manufacturing companies,” said Tide Rock President Brooks Kincaid.
