Suba Technology

What Suba Technology does

Suba Technology, Inc. is a private, founder-led contract manufacturer founded in 2001 by Rick Suba and headquartered in a 60,000-square-foot facility at 46501 Landing Parkway, Fremont, California. The company transforms components into sub-assemblies and finished products on behalf of OEM clients, operating three Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines—one of which is dedicated to quick-turn prototyping—under ISO 9001:2015, IPC Class II and Class III, and RoHS quality frameworks. Leadership consists of Founder and CEO Rick Suba and Vice President and COO Alex Obice, with the company remaining founder-controlled and without external venture capital or private equity backing.

Its service portfolio spans the full product lifecycle: Value-Add Value Engineering (ODM and JDM, PCB and PCBA design, industrial design, mold design and fabrication, test development, packaging design), Quick-Turn Prototype manufacturing (turnaround options from 12 hours to 7 days), Advanced Manufacturing Services (PCBA through system integration, conformal coating, IPC/J-STD workmanship standards), Quality Assurance (Process Sigma Level 5 with a stated goal of reaching Level 6, APQP, PPAP, X-ray inspection, genealogy and traceability), Supply Chain Management (sourcing, BOM analysis, vertical integration for injection-molded parts, vendor-managed inventory), Fulfillment (finished-goods inventory, EOQ replenishment, EDI and ASN), and After-Sales Services (upgrades, refurbishment, repair, spare-parts management).

Suba generates revenue through negotiated B2B project contracts with enterprise OEM clients across seven targeted verticals: Medical Devices, Telecommunications, IoT, Consumer Electronics, Electric Vehicles, Aerospace and Defense, and Renewable Energy. Sales are driven via direct enterprise engagement and the corporate website (subatech.com), with no disclosed distributor, reseller, or marketplace channels. The company is pursuing four additional quality certifications—ISO 13485 (medical) and IATF 16949 (automotive) planned for Q3 2025, ISO 14001 (environmental) planned for Q1 2026, and AS9100 (aerospace) planned for Q3 2026—and has approximately doubled its core headcount over the last five years alongside continued investment in modern equipment.
