Your PCB Partner

We supply bare PCBs, from 1-40 layer rigid boards as standard to controlled impedance, blind or buried via, resin-filled via-in-pad, rigid-flex, and RF builds. Our supplied-job history includes Rogers RF laminates and hybrid RF/FR-4 stackups. Boards only, not assembly. We match each job to the facility that fits it best.

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.

Based on supplied-job records reviewed in August 2026. The same records include high-Tg materials, hybrid RF/FR-4 stackups, and heavy copper through 5 oz. This is delivered-job evidence, not a blanket factory limit. We confirm material, stackup, tolerances, and volume for each quote.

Who We Work With

We supply the bare 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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shipco Circuits?

Shipco Circuits is a bare-PCB contract manufacturer with over 55 years of expertise. Qualified manufacturing partners fabricate the boards. We match each job to the right facility and remain accountable for technical review, quality, and delivery.

Do you offer assembly, or just bare boards?

We supply 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 supply rigid (1-40 layers), flex, rigid-flex, HDI, RF/microwave, and metal-core PCBs. Our supplied-job history includes high layer-count, controlled-impedance, blind or buried via, resin-filled via-in-pad, and Rogers RF-laminate builds.

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 supply bare PCBs and don't assemble, so we never compete with the assembly houses we supply.
