About Us
Unparalleled Flexibility and Speed to Market
Based in New England, Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (IMS) was purpose-built in 2005 to address a service gap in the market for high-quality, rapid prototype, and small lot printed circuit board assembly. When small-quantity projects with tight deadlines and complex designs require streamlined processes, IMS is the answer.
More than a PCBA or EMS provider, we are a leader in rapid prototyping and on-demand manufacturing, singularly focused on minimizing time to market and maximizing customers’ profits. Driven by a culture of responsiveness and commitment to our promises, we believe that together, we can build great things – fast.
Designed to Fulfill A Gap In Unserved Markets
We execute with industry-leading precision, quality, and turnaround times, which takes teamwork from every level of our organization. Take a glimpse inside IMS to learn more about our people and processes.
About IMS
The IMS founders recognized the struggles that businesses face in receiving high levels of customer service for their prototype and low-volume PCBA needs and designed IMS specifically to service this niche.
The IMS management team has extensive experience in the EMS industry and has worked together for over 25 years. We understand and appreciate the design and manufacturing challenges your business faces—and are ready and willing to help.
The IMS culture is focused on partnership and responsiveness. It is one of hard work, dedication, and persistence—we meet our deadlines, adhere to schedules, and recognize the importance of doing what we say. We hold your best interests at heart and are proud of the role we play in your success
