RBB To Exhibit at PCB Carolina

This November, RBB will be heading to PCB Carolina 2026, taking place on November 11 at the McKimmon Center at NC State in Raleigh, North Carolina. You'll find our team at Booth 61, where we'll be exhibiting as both a Grand Prize Sponsor and Silver Sponsor of the event.

Trade shows like PCB Carolina give us an opportunity to step away from emails and conference calls and have real conversations with the engineers, buyers and manufacturing professionals responsible for bringing products to market.

Join RBB at the 2026 Greater Ohio Design-2-Part Show

Connecting with manufacturers. Strengthening partnerships. Exploring what’s next.

At RBB, we believe the best conversations happen face-to-face. That's why we're excited to share that we'll be exhibiting at the 2026 Greater Ohio Design-2-Part Show, taking place October 28-29 at the First Financial Center (Duke Energy Convention Center) in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You'll find the RBB team at Booth 431, where we'll be discussing the electronics manufacturing solutions we provide and learning more about the challenges manufacturers are working to solve.

RBB Adds Second Shift to Expand Production Capacity

More production hours. More flexibility. More capacity to support our clients.

At RBB, we’re always looking for ways to improve how we serve our clients and prepare for what’s next. That’s why we’re excited to share an important expansion to our manufacturing operations: RBB officially added a second production shift on September 21, 2026.

RBB Recognized with 2026 CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Service Excellence Award

At RBB, we talk a lot about what it means to be a true manufacturing partner. Quality matters. Delivery matters. Communication matters. But ultimately, the best measure of how we’re doing comes directly from our clients.

That’s why we’re especially proud to share that RBB has been recognized with a 2026 CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Service Excellence Award (SEA) in the EMS Under $20 Million category.

Extending the Life of Moisture-Sensitive Electronic Components

They go together like oil & water, fire & ice, electronics & moisture. Some things just don’t pair well. In this time when electronic components are hard to find, we need to protect the parts we have. All electronic components have a certain level of sensitivity to moisture- some more than others. RBB is working hard to source, store, and protect your PCB assembly and components through all stages of the assembly process. By protecting your assembly from moisture, and watching for moisture issues, we are making sure your mission-critical assemblies are ready to work for you.

Yes, Quality Matters! What Makes RBB A High-Quality Manufacturer?

Whether you are shopping for a new car, a pair of shoes, or a contract manufacturer, the quality of the item or service matters. Where you spend your money is important and the product you receive should be worth what you pay for! Most companies, brands, or products say they hold high standards and good quality, but do they? There is inherent skepticism when a company claims to have “high-quality,” since that value can be characterized and defined in different ways.

But at RBB, our first-rate service and products are something we are proud of, and we can prove it!

Gerber Files, BOM, and a PCBA, Oh My! Is Your Assembly Ready to Quote?

What do a baby food brand, an explosive device, and a pre-quote checklist all have in common? While this sounds like the start of a bad joke or a questionable Google search, these are just three ingredients for a successful printed circuit board assembly proposal. You may be asked to provide the Gerber Files, BOM, and specific project details when requesting a quote from RBB for your PCB project.

The Gerber Files and BOM (Bill of Materials) need to be reviewed for a PCBA to be quoted. The Pre-Quote Checklist is a convenient resource created by the team at RBB to simplify the quoting process.

Scrap Factor: What Is It and Why Do We Need It?

Anyone working in the electronic manufacturing industry needs to account for sufficient scrap factor when preparing for production of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).

So, what is scrap factor and why is everyone so worried about it?

Why should I care?
