As the potential for new tariffs continues to evolve, Scanfil is committed to ensuring that its global manufacturing network is prepared to offer support should the need arise for a shift of manufacturing locations, whether domestically or internationally. Our strategically positioned global manufacturing facilities are designed to mitigate any disturbances caused by forthcoming tariff implementations. By leveraging these locations, we can provide cost-effective alternatives while maintaining the quality and efficiency our customers expect from us.
In recent years, we have invested significantly in expanding and enhancing our manufacturing capabilities and footprint. This includes establishing new manufacturing locations and increasing space and capabilities in various regions. Considering tariffs, production timelines, logistics, and supply chain optimization, we are prepared to evaluate the most suitable manufacturing sites based on customer needs. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring a smooth transition to these alternative locations, should you find it necessary to shift your supply chain and manufacturing. We will work closely with you to mitigate all impacts.
New tariffs may result in adjustments to pricing for some of our services. We understand the importance of transparency and want to ensure you are aware of potential changes before they occur. Please stay closely connected with us regarding this matter and let us know if you’d like to discuss further or explore specific options.

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.
