PCB Reverse Engineering Firm Opens in UK

Published: 06 August 2008

GLEN ARM, MD -- Armistead Technologies, LLC, a reverse engineering firm that specializes in reverse engineering printed circuit boards, is opening an office in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Armistead Technologies works with manufacturers and OEM companies to recover old PCB designs and update them, integrating new functions and bringing them into compliance with modern standards for safety, environmental protection, and energy efficiency.  
 
"It was inevitable, really," Armistead says about his company's expansion. "Today's technology companies are more globally focused, with European standards like RoHS becoming world standards."

"In addition, more companies have concerns about outsourcing their reverse engineering projects to a company based in China or India. When we take on a reverse engineering project, all the work is done in the US or UK. None of the intellectual assets go offshore." 
 
The UK office of Armistead Technologies will be run by John Charnley. "Mr. Charnley brings a vast experience in the practical application of electronic engineering," Armistead says. "And now, Armistead Technologies brings to our clients an even broader range of resources to move reverse engineering projects off the engineering manager's desk and onto the production line."
