    PCB Manufacturing Options Outside of China

    In today’s evolving trade environment, we understand that many customers are seeking alternatives to China-based PCB manufacturing. At Millennium Circuits Limited (MCL), we’re here to provide flexible, reliable, and cost-effective options to help you adapt with confidence.

    MCL has proactively built a diversified global supply chain to give our customers more options and greater control. In addition to our long-standing relationships in China, we offer qualified PCB manufacturing from facilities in:

    • Taiwan

    • Thailand

    • Vietnam

    Each of these locations has been carefully vetted to ensure they meet MCL’s high standards for quality, reliability, and production capability.

    Seamless Transitions

    Transitioning production to a new facility can be daunting—but we make it easier. When you shift part numbers from China to one of our qualified partners outside of China, MCL will handle the transfer process and waive tooling costs wherever possible. Our goal is to reduce friction, minimize downtime, and help you maintain your supply chain momentum.

    Real-World Scenario: Why It Pays to Explore Alternatives

    With recent tariff increases on goods manufactured in China—now climbing to at least 145%—the cost impact is significant. Here’s a breakdown to help illustrate how this affects your bottom line and why more customers are shifting production elsewhere.

    Let’s say your annual PCB spend on a particular part number is $100,000:

    Option 1: Stay in China

    Option 2: Move Production Outside of China

    • Base Cost: $100,000

    • New Tariff (145%+): $145,000+

    • Total Cost: $245,000+

    • Base Cost (typically within 10% of China): ~$110,000

    • Applicable Tariff (e.g., 7%): $7,700

    • Total Cost: ~$117,700
