UK CEM boosts equipment investment to match LED assembly growth
LCL has seen order growth in 2014/15 increasing by more than 30 per cent which has led to an increase in staff levels that has brought the total workforce to 60.
Customers have been proactively approaching LCL to produce their LEDs due to the company’s ability to achieve higher yields than other contract manufacturers. LCL’s technical team has a complete knowledge and understanding of the LED assembly process, including surface finishes on components, PCBs and tooling design.
LCL can tailor the company’s tools, processes and production line to deliver LED assembly, from prototype to high volume orders. LCL’s central UK manufacturing location coupled with global purchasing abilities and technical staff is able to deliver a full manufacturing service quickly and cost-effectively.
Bihari Patel, Process & Quality Manager at LCL Electronics explained: “We can actively demonstrate our capability to meet customer requirements in LED assembly, achieving a higher yield coupled with cost savings. Our ability to deliver orders within the timescales and to the quality demanded means that we are now manufacturing LED products in volume for a number of customers, who are utilising them in street lighting, luxury yachts, control boards, decking and garden features and railway signaling”.
LED assembly is part of LCL’s contract manufacturing offering, which encompasses SMT, cable and PCB assembly, box build and test.
