Capabilities
Uniflex understands that customers are often looking for a one stop shop to handle their flex circuit design, fabrication, as well as assembly needs to reduce product handling and lead time associated with out-sourcing each of these tasks. Whether your idea is a sketch or diagram, we'll help you design a cost-effective interconnect solution. Uniflex is also set up to handle component assembly including connectors and various surface mount components. Presented are common capabilites. Come speak to us concerning tighter tolerances or special process requirements.
