Q: Why does RBB focus exclusively on “build-to-print” manufacturing services?

A: The simple answer is cost control for clients. For over 30 years, RBB provided extensive design engineering services that fewer and fewer clients required, thereby forcing higher-than-necessary costs on everyone. The decision to outsource our engineering design capability reduced overhead costs substantially. In addition, RBB’s commitment to lean manufacturing techniques has allowed us to differentiate ourselves from the standard “Yeah, we do that too” approach found so often in the industry.

Q: What if I need engineering support to design my control panel and/or printed circuit board–based assembly?

A: We have retained in-house engineering expertise for conversion-to-surface-mount services, board re-spinning, minor functional changes, test fixture development, resolution of part obsolescence issues, etc. Beyond this, RBB has many qualified third-party engineering partners to coordinate with on your behalf. This includes system integration experts, board-level designers, software developers, and even custom enclosure designers.
