Multilayer Technology

What Multilayer Technology does

Multilayer Technology is a privately held, niche printed circuit board (PCB) contract manufacturer founded in 1986 and operating from a single 25,000 square foot facility in Arlington, Texas. The company fabricates custom multilayer PCBs (up to 36 layers), flex and rigid-flex boards, RF/Teflon circuits, controlled-impedance designs, and specialty boards for down-hole logging, serving customers in Military Defense, Aerospace, Medical, Telecommunications, Pipeline & Oil, Automated Test Equipment, and Instrumentation. Differentiating technical capabilities include a 750-gallon 40:1 high aspect ratio copper plating tank (up to 32:1 aspect ratio), fine-feature manufacturing down to 3 mil line/space and 4 mil drill, and Polar Instrument TDR-based controlled impedance testing.

The company generates revenue through a direct B2B sales model, with quote requests submitted via email ([email protected]) and pricing determined per build rather than through published catalogs. Lead times range from 24-hour quick-turns to standard 2–4 weeks, with account terms at net 30 days and credit card acceptance for smaller orders. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by reputation, word-of-mouth, and a dense certification portfolio (AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, JCP, MIL-PRF-31032, UL 94V-0, IPC-6012/6013/6018/A-600/RB-276), which qualifies Multilayer for defense and aerospace work that uncertified fabricators cannot bid on. The company explicitly positions itself as a "captive PCB fabricator" for many customers, emphasizing partnership and tailored engineering over volume production.

Multilayer Technology is privately held with no disclosed parent company, private equity sponsorship, or institutional ownership, and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees. The company has not pursued acquisitions, mergers, funding rounds, or geographic expansion; the most recent documented capital event is a September 2015 investment in an Orbotech Sprint 120 Inkjet Printer. Revenue, ownership structure, and management team are not publicly disclosed.
