What EM Solutions does

EM Solutions is a privately-held electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company headquartered in San Jose, California, operating from a single facility at 2152 Zanker Road in Silicon Valley. Founded around 2005, the company provides end-to-end printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) services built on five integrated pillars: PCB Assembly (SMT, THT, and mixed-technology using Juki and Hanwha pick-and-place lines), Prototyping and New Product Introduction with 1-5 day turnaround, PCB Fabrication sourced through domestic and international partner manufacturers, Supply Chain & Logistics for component sourcing and inventory management, and System/Box Build covering enclosure integration and final testing. Quality is supported by Automated Optical Inspection, X-ray analysis, electrical and functional testing, and ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, RoHS, and ITAR certifications.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market OEMs across seven vertical segments — Medical Devices, Communications, Semiconductor, Networking, Storage, Consumer Electronics, and Industrial — with medical device manufacturing positioned as a primary segment enabled by ISO 13485 compliance. Its go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based: customers submit Bills of Materials and Gerber files, and the company commits to a 4-hour quote turnaround, with full turnkey quotes delivered within 1-2 business days. Revenue is generated on a per-project, pay-as-you-go basis across prototyping, NPI, and production runs, with turnkey engagements bundling material procurement, assembly, and box build under a single point of contact. Over its history the company reports serving 10,000+ clients, manufacturing 472,068 units, and supplying 2,200,265 components, while claiming a 99% on-time delivery rate.

The business model is a domestic contract manufacturer competing on speed, flexibility, and proximity to Silicon Valley customers rather than on scale or lowest cost. EM Solutions positions itself as a mid-sized, full-service alternative to offshore EMS providers, leveraging regulatory certifications, complex-component handling (BGA, uBGA, QFN, fine-pitch), and Design for Manufacturability engineering support as differentiators. No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed, and the company operates as an independent private business with 11-50 employees.
