Rocky Mountain Circuits

What Rocky Mountain Circuits does

Rocky Mountain Circuits is a privately held printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication company headquartered at 825 Delaware Avenue in Longmont, Colorado, operating continuously since 1972. The company specializes in quick-turn, low-to-medium volume PCB manufacturing with multilayer capabilities up to 24+ layers, advanced via technologies (blind/buried, filled, via-in-pad, sequential lamination), controlled impedance (±5% advanced, ±10% standard), Very Fine Line processing at 0.003" circuit widths, and RF antenna fabrication using specialty materials including Rogers, Taconic, Arlon, Isola, polyimide, and aluminum substrates. The company holds ISO 9001-2015 certification, ITAR registration, and UL approval across a broad FR4 material range, and inspects to IPC-A-600 Class II and IPC-6012A Class II standards, qualifying it for regulated end-markets including medical devices, defense, and industrial automation.

The company's primary revenue stream is one-time custom PCB fabrication orders, priced via quote upon receipt of Gerber or ODB++ design files, with expedited premiums for turnaround times as fast as 24 hours for double-sided boards and standard 10-day delivery for multilayer production. Revenue is supplemented by custom cable assemblies and box builds, typically bundled with PCB orders. High-volume production runs are fulfilled through offshore sourcing partners, enabling competitive pricing on scale while preserving the domestic facility for complex, quick-turn, and prototype work. The go-to-market motion is direct sales via toll-free phone (1-800-PCB-9137) and email, with an engineering team that responds to quote requests within 24 hours and offers regional personal delivery to Colorado-based customers.

The company serves a diversified vertical mix with Medical Electronics, Industrial Automation, and Wireless Communication (including IoT/RF) as primary segments, and Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Semiconductor, Networking & Telecommunication, Energy Applications, and Contract Manufacturers as secondary segments. Customer relationships are project-driven and quote-based with no subscription or recurring revenue model. The company markets primarily through its website, SEO-optimized service pages, and direct outreach, with no disclosed presence in content marketing, paid advertising, or formal partnerships. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, subsidiaries, or leadership changes on record, and presents as a stable, founder-operated specialty manufacturer with 11-50 employees.

Core offering

Rocky Mountain Circuits fabricates custom printed circuit boards ranging from double-sided prototypes to complex multilayer boards up to 24 layers, with quick-turn lead times as fast as 24 hours. The company specializes in RF antenna fabrication using specialty materials (Rogers, Taconic, Arlon, Isola), controlled impedance designs, and Very Fine Line processes achieving 0.003 inch circuit widths. Complementary offerings include custom cable assemblies, box builds, and electrical testing services for customers in medical, industrial automation, wireless communication, automotive, semiconductor, and consumer electronics sectors.

Product overview

Rocky Mountain Circuits is a PCB manufacturer offering a unified portfolio of fabrication services rather than a modular platform. The core offering centers on Quick Turn PCB fabrication for prototypes through production volumes, supported by specialized capabilities including RF antenna fabrication (RF Capabilities), exotic IoT designs, multilayer boards up to 24 layers with blind/buried vias and sequential lamination, and impedance control with integrated TDR modeling and testing. Surface finish options (HASL, ENIG, Immersion Silver) and materials (FR4, Rogers, Taconic, polyimide, aluminum) are offered as standard options. Advanced features like 3/3 lines and spaces, peelable mask, printed resistors, and HiLED applications extend the core fabrication service. Complementary services include electrical testing, custom cable assemblies, and box builds. The company provides Gerber and ODB++ file format support for quoting.

Direct peers

• PCBWay: China-based global PCB prototype and low-volume manufacturer competing on price and turnaround. Direct competitor for the same prototype and small-batch customers, especially on cost-sensitive designs.
• JLCPCB: China-based high-volume low-cost PCB fab with quick-turn options. Direct competitor for prototype and small-batch orders, particularly price-sensitive consumer electronics and hobbyist volumes.
• Sierra Circuits: California-based quick-turn and mid-volume PCB manufacturer with comparable capabilities across multilayer, RF, and impedance-controlled boards. Highly comparable in service model and end-market focus.
• APCT (Advanced Printed Circuit Technology): US quick-turn and production PCB fabricator with aerospace and defense certifications. Directly comparable in PCB prototype-and-production positioning and ITAR/AS9100-grade regulated capabilities.
• Sunstone Circuits: US quick-turn PCB prototype and low-volume manufacturer serving similar OEM and hobbyist customers. Competes head-to-head on standard FR4 quick-turn services.
• AllPCB: Asia-based PCB prototype and production fabricator with broad material and stack-up options. Direct competitor on global online quick-turn quoting where RMC's offshore sourcing partners also compete.
• Advanced Circuits: US-based quick-turn PCB fabricator with very similar focus on prototype-to-production services, online quoting, and broad material offerings. Direct competitor for the same prototype and small-batch OEM customers.

Broad incumbents

• TTM Technologies: Large US-based PCB manufacturer with broad aerospace, defense, automotive, and networking exposure. Competes on larger-volume and higher-layer-count work where RMC cannot bid directly.
• Sanmina: Global EMS and PCB manufacturer with broad end-market exposure. Overlaps with RMC on PCB fabrication but addresses much larger volumes and integrated box-build customers.

Regional players

• Eurocircuits: European quick-turn and prototype PCB manufacturer with similar online quoting and small-batch model. Comparable capabilities but primarily serves European customers, so does not head-to-head compete in North America.
