[QUOTE="DanWiggins, post: 539642, member: 544847"] There are literally thousands of contract assembly houses in the US. We interviewed 5 of them (tours, talked with staff, walked through facilities) within a 30 minute drive of Adire before we settled on our chosen one. Got quotes from an even dozen, all located in the Seattle area. They should not be hard to find; if they are, then the company's staff doesn't know what they're looking for or what they're doing. There is a TON of assembly capability in the US; and the beauty is that most of it is optimized for smaller runs of product, under 100 units or so (a couple of the places we looked at - and who were competitively priced, too - quoted as few as 10 quantity assembly). Those who think you have to go off-shore either need to because of volume (the DEIs and Harmans of the world), or haven't a clue. If Ben would like some help setting up his assembly system, he knows where to contact me. We do this kind of stuff all the time (in fact, taking 3 other electronics products to production this month, all for other clients). Dan Wiggins Adire Audio [/QUOTE]
