Benchmark, a global provider of engineering, design, and manufacturing services, has announced the opening of its new advanced electronics manufacturing facility in Phoenix. Benchmark's new Phoenix facility produces solutions for high-reliability RF, photonics, and high-speed electronic systems in a wide range of market sectors, including: aerospace and defense, computing, complex industrial, medical, and next-generation telecommunications. Benchmark currently serves several high-profile customers within each of these key industries today at the new site.
Benchmark's President and CEO Jeff Benck hosted a live webcast and was joined virtually by several dignitaries including Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego.
Arizona has proven to be an excellent location for Benchmark to grow and thrive. The support they have received from the community, government officials, and the state's great universities have all contributed to their ability to partner with some of the world's largest OEMs to bring their innovations to life.
During the live webcast, Benchmark leaders provided attendees a behind-the scenes virtual tour featuring the facility's groundbreaking capabilities, services, and technology building blocks, including:
- RF and high-speed electronics engineering sandbox
- Very High Density Interconnect (VDHI) circuit fabrication
- Microelectronics assembly
- Surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly
- System integration
- Functional test
- Rapid prototyping and volume production
The new advanced manufacturing facility offers a completely different approach to innovation and problem solving in high-performance electronics by allowing them to partner with their customers through the entire product development cycle and innovate rapidly with high-reliability products. They are not only tackling challenges with the communication technology of tomorrow such as 5G, space satellites, munitions guidance, and advanced radar systems for the defense sector, but are also attacking miniaturization solutions for the progressive needs of industrial and medical customers.
Arizonan officials are grateful that Benchmark relocated their headquarters from Texas to Arizona, to bring hundreds of good-paying jobs to their state.
