Challenge Us With the Hard Builds
HDI, rigid-flex, RF, thick copper, exotic materials. Our engineers have run production floors, not just sales desks, and they review every design before we quote.
Our Capabilities
Visual references
PCB Build Library
Explore multilayer constructions, laser vias, buried vias, and rigid-flex stackups. Visual references for your next design.

We fabricate bare PCBs: 1-40 layer rigid, HDI with any-layer microvias, rigid-flex, and RF on Rogers, Isola, and Taconic. Boards only, not assembly, so we never compete with the assembly houses and EMS providers we supply. We match each job to the facility that fits it best, with no factory bias.
Technical Library
Design guidance from engineers who've solved these problems before. Controlled impedance, material selection, stackup design, DFM rules. Browse our technical articles or see PCB build illustrations for visual stackup references.

What We Build
Bare-board fabrication, from prototype through production.
Standard FR-4, high-Tg, polyimide, Teflon, metal-core, and ceramic substrates. IPC Class 2 and Class 3. Prototype to production volumes.
Who We Work With
We fabricate the board. What you do with it is your business.
Design & engineering teams
We review your design for manufacturability and flag issues before they become expensive. Talk to engineers who speak your language.
Procurement & operations
Manufacturing partners across several regions reduce your single-source risk. Full documentation and traceability, no surprises.
Assembly houses & EMS
A reliable bare-board supplier that stays in its lane. We fabricate, you assemble. We don't quote assembly and we don't approach your customers.
Founders & small teams
New to PCB sourcing? We'll walk you through it, no hard sell, and tell you what you actually need, even when that's less than you planned to order.
How It Works
Send Your Files
Gerbers, ODB++, or just a description of what you need. We accept designs at any stage.
Technical Review
Our engineers review for manufacturability. We flag issues and suggest improvements, free of charge.
Quote & Factory Match
Detailed quote with options. We select the facility best suited to your job, with no factory bias.
Fabrication & Delivery
We oversee board fabrication and quality control, then ship direct with tracking, documentation, and full traceability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shipco Circuits?
Shipco Circuits is a bare-board PCB fabricator with over 55 years of expertise. We're independent: rather than owning a single factory, we match each job to a qualified manufacturing partner across Asia, Europe, and North America, then oversee it through to delivery. One team, accountable for the result.
Do you offer assembly, or just bare boards?
We fabricate bare, unpopulated PCBs. We don't do assembly. For our assembly-house and EMS customers, that's deliberate: we supply your boards and never compete for your customers. If a build needs assembly, we'll point you in the right direction, we just won't be the ones quoting it.
What types of PCBs do you make?
We fabricate rigid (1-40 layers), flex, rigid-flex, HDI, RF/microwave, and metal-core PCBs. We specialise in technically challenging builds: high layer-count, tight tolerances, and exotic materials like Rogers, Isola, and Taconic.
Where is Shipco located?
Shipco Circuits Ltd operates from Macroom, Ireland, serving Europe. Shipco Circuits NA Inc operates from Vancouver, Canada, giving North American customers local support, local time zones, and simpler logistics and duties. We ship worldwide.
What makes Shipco different from other PCB suppliers?
- Real manufacturing expertise - our team has run production floors, not just sales desks.
- Honest guidance - we'll tell you what you need, even if it's less than you planned to order.
- Independent, unbiased matching - we choose the facility that fits your job, not the one that fills a quota.
- Boards only - we fabricate, we don't assemble, so we never compete with the assembly houses we supply.
