What Eastprint does

Eastprint Incorporated, headquartered at 350 Willow Street, North Andover, Massachusetts, is a contract manufacturer and engineering services provider specializing in printed electronics and human-machine interface (HMI) solutions. Founded in 1978, the company designs and manufactures custom membrane switches, projected capacitive touch films and touch screens, custom graphic overlays and rubber keypads, screen-printed electrodes and biosensors, wearable patch assemblies, and In-Mold Electronics (IME) for medical device OEMs and other industrial customers. Its technology stack is built around five primary conductive ink systems (silver, radiolucent, carbon, zinc, dielectric), custom-formulated transparent PEDOT, silver nanowire, and CNT hybrid inks, screen-printed onto substrates such as PET, ITO, and Kapton, with thermoforming, compression molding, and injection molding used to produce finished subassemblies.

The company operates three manufacturing sites — two 30,000 sq ft facilities in North Andover plus plants in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and Shenzhen, China — enabling US-based design and engineering paired with low-cost assembly. The business model is enterprise, quote-based contract manufacturing plus design and engineering services (CAD/3D modeling, prototyping, IQ/OQ/PQ validation), with multi-year supply contracts, FDA and ISO 13485 contract manufacturing for medical customers, and ITAR-compliant capability for defense work. Production volumes cited include up to 500,000 cardiac electrodes per year, up to 90,000 medical membrane switch assemblies annually, and 25,000–100,000 disposable medical sensors per order.

Eastprint is a wholly-owned subsidiary of East West Manufacturing, marketed as 'Eastprint, an East West Business,' and the partnership with LOOMIA Technologies (e-textiles) and productization of In-Mold Electronics reflect ongoing portfolio extension into wearable and 3D-form-factor electronics. Certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 at both US and Mexico sites, the company sells into medical device OEMs (primary segment) plus consumer appliance, industrial control, and aerospace and military customers.
