Sources within the company have acknowledged a 50% rise in both interest and the order book following what is believed to be as a direct result of a combination of two factors; the increasing closure of UK based PCB manufacturers and also the change in focus for both Chinese and laminate manufacturers to higher layer counts.
Based within Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, GSPK Circuits had built up an enviable reputation for manufacturing single sided PCBs in medium to high volume runs utilising short manufacturing lead times, but witnessed a decline in demand five years ago when customers started sourcing this requirement from the Far East.
Martyn Gibson, Operations Director for GSPK Circuits Ltd said – “This latest industry development is having a very positive impact on our business. We have been fortunate to have been able to identify this macro change at a very early stage and have reacted quickly and are capitalizing on this market opportunity.
We are in the very fortunate position to have retained our key personnel within this field and our reputation for manufacturing quality single sided PCBs and the level of customer service we provide has stood us in good stead for this market upturn.”
