And Why Precision Electronic Technologies Is Built to Deliver on Them
Choosing the right electronics manufacturing partner is a high-stakes decision for any OEM or product developer. It affects your product quality, time to market, scalability — and ultimately, your bottom line.
At Precision Electronic Technologies, we’ve supported OEMs for over 25 years. Here are the top five things to consider when selecting your ECM partner — and how we deliver on each one.
1. Technical Capabilities
Your ECM partner must be able to handle the full scope of your product needs — from prototype to production, and from simple to highly complex assemblies.
What to look for:
- Full-service capabilities: SMT, through-hole, box build, system integration, wiring, and more
- Experience with complex designs: fine-pitch, HDI, rigid-flex, RF, etc.
- Support for both prototyping and high-volume production
How we deliver:
At Precision, we offer true end-to-end manufacturing solutions:
- PCB assembly: rigid, flex, rigid-flex, ALU-backed, HDI, RF
- Box build and complete product integration
- Rapid prototyping using dedicated machines and flexible scheduling
- Full turnkey services: from component sourcing to testing
- Cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, and custom looms
- DFM tools to analyse your PCBA prior to going into production
We’re equipped to support every stage of your build — from early-stage design to full production runs.
2. Quality Standards and Certifications
Quality is mission-critical — especially in regulated or high-reliability markets like medical, automotive, and industrial.
What to look for:
- Relevant certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IPC-A-610)
- Consistent traceability and inspection processes
- Clean, well-organized facilities
How we deliver:
We maintain robust quality control systems across all facilities — local and offshore — and comply with globally recognized standards:
- ISO 9001 (local and offshore)
- ISO 13485 (offshore; local certification underway for Q4 2025)
- TS 16949 (automotive standard via offshore partners)
- IPC-A-610 Class 2 & 3 for PCB assembly
Our team performs regular supplier audits, and every build is fully traceable — giving you confidence in both process and product.
3. Supply Chain and Scalability
Today’s supply chain challenges make a strong and flexible sourcing strategy non-negotiable.
What to look for:
- Proven sourcing capabilities and supplier networks
- Proactivity in resolving part shortages
- Ability to scale production efficiently
How we deliver:
We have long-standing relationships with trusted PCB manufacturers across Australia, China, Taiwan, and South Korea, and our experienced local sourcing team has built up an extensive network over the years and works closely with our Hong Kong office to secure key materials.
We specialise in sourcing:
- Electronic components
- Bare PCBs
- Metalwork, injection-moulded parts, and other mechanical components
Our in-house DFM tools evaluate BOM health early on — flagging lead time issues, obsolete parts, or sourcing risks.
We support:
- Rapid prototyping in Melbourne
- Volume production locally or via offshore facilities
- Strategic stockholding to buffer against supply delays
4. Communication and Project Management
Strong communication can mean the difference between a smooth project and a missed deadline.
What to look for:
- Dedicated account or project managers
- Transparent updates and documentation
- Fast, responsive service
How we deliver:
At Precision, you work with a dedicated point of contact who knows your project inside out and keeps you informed at every step.
We pride ourselves on being:
- Proactive
- Responsive
- Collaborative
Customer success is at the heart of our business. Internally, we invest in our people and processes to ensure exceptional service. We hold bi-weekly Customer Experience (CX) meetings with cross-functional teams to:
- Address feedback
- Track follow-up actions
- Share success stories
- Brainstorm ideas to improve customer outcomes
Our culture of continuous improvement ensures we adapt to your needs and deliver consistent value.
5. Location, Logistics, and Total Cost
Manufacturing location has a direct impact on delivery timelines, IP security, and cost management.
What to look for:
- Local production with offshore options
- Transparent, detailed pricing
- Minimal delays related to shipping, time zones, or customs
How we deliver:
Our Melbourne-based facility is ideal for local, quick-turn builds — and we can scale up volumes locally.
For high-volume, cost-sensitive projects, we also offer the option of offshore manufacturing through trusted partners with long-term agreements and NDAs in place.
We provide:
- Flexible pricing tailored to volume and lead time
- Fully transparent quoting — no hidden charges
- Secure handling of your IP with clear documentation and local accountability
