Variosystems has announced a new facility in Fort Worth, Texas. This latest expansion comes on the heels of strong growth for the company and is one of several strategic decisions to expand worldwide capacity. The new acquisition is a 32,000 square foot building. This facility will be tailored to the growing demand for system integration, over-molding, customer fulfillment and many of processes making Variosystems a fully integrated manufacturer.
In a company announcement, it stated, “2020 can surely be described as one of the most unpredictable year in the company’s history. Between the impacts of COVID on our day-to-day tasks and large-scale production of ventilators for the medical industries, Variosystems added a new facility their growing list. We are happy to welcome our system integration and over-molding plant.”
The Fort Worth facility will focus on rapid deployment of materials, change over and flexible workstations, thus enabling high mix low volume customers reduced lead-lead times and flexible scheduling. Our lean manufacturing processes and equipment will also allow Variosystems to accommodate higher volume projects with minimal ramp-up time. The facility is ISO-13485 certified and will be certified to IATF 16949 in 2021 for automotive customers.
We are therefore very pleased that despite difficult global economic circumstances, we can face future challenges with greater strength.
“Located only minutes from our PCBA manufacturing plant in Southlake TX, this new location will give Variosystems the perfect footprint to offer a complete end-to-end solution to our customers,´said Yves Lafortune, deputy general manager of Variosystems USA. “With over 100,000 sqft in the DFW area, we are now in a position to expand our service offering to new customers needing reliable and price competitive manufacturing solutions.”

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
