ANAHEIM, CA -- Viasystems Group today announced the opening of a North American PCB Technology and Manufacturing Center here, a facility that replaces and upgrades the company's multi-building leased location. The printed circuit board manufacturer has its production plants in China, but uses the US as a base for quickturn programs and flex circuits. It has board shops sites in nine cities across North America.

“Viasystems’ new Anaheim facility showcases some of the latest state-of-the-art production equipment, with a focus on automation that greatly increases throughput and takes advantage of the most current technology available,” said David M. Sindelar, chief executive. “This new owned facility replaces our previously existing multi-building leased location and houses a significant number of technological and manufacturing upgrades. These upgrades will allow our advanced engineering team to offer our customers unmatched capabilities for PCB applications in the semiconductor, aerospace, and advanced communication end markets."

Sindelar added that the site has a sophisticated waste treatment and water recycling system.
