How we work

A direct path from project files to a controlled build

Core works with engineering and purchasing teams to clarify requirements early, align the production scope, and keep the path from quote review through delivery practical and visible.

Production resources

People, process, and equipment working together

Trained technicians and practical production equipment support reliable PCB assembly from prototypes and 25-to-100-board orders through repeat runs of 2,000 units or more.

SMT Placement

PUMA Ultra and FLX2010 pick-and-place systems support flexible, high-mix PCB assembly.

AOI Inspection

Mirtec automatic optical inspection supports repeatable board-level quality review.

Reflow & Wave Solder

Reflow and wave solder resources support both SMT and through-hole production needs.

Cleaning & Pre-Bake

Aqueous cleaning and pre-bake processes support controlled assembly preparation.

Rework & Desoldering

Dedicated rework and temperature-controlled soldering support modifications and repairs.

Programming & Forming

Programming and lead-forming equipment help complete specialized assembly requirements.

Customer-focused manufacturing

A family-operated manufacturer with a practical approach

Core Assemblies began with assembly work performed from home and was incorporated in 1988. As demand grew, the woman-owned company expanded into a dedicated Gilford facility. Family members have contributed throughout its history, including the creation of the company’s circuit-inspired logo.

35+ years in businessLong-standing support for technical equipment manufacturers across demanding markets.
Prototype through scheduled productionTypical orders range from 25 to 100 boards, with some programs reaching 2,000 units or more.
Flexible material modelsCore can assemble customer-supplied kits or purchase customer-specified components for turnkey builds.
Quality-driven productionInspection criteria aligned with IPC-A-610 Class 2, supported by AOI and functional testing.
