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.

Evidence From Supplied Boards

Our records cover more than 8,000 distinct supplied bare-PCB designs. The rounded figures below are a conservative view of what we have delivered.

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

Qualified manufacturing partners across Asia and Europe reduce single-source risk and support restricted country-of-manufacture rules (including non-China sourcing in South Korea, Europe, and the UK), End-Use Statements, and full CoC traceability.

Assembly houses & EMS

A reliable bare-board supplier with a clear boundary: our partners fabricate; you assemble. We don't quote assembly or 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

Production Oversight & Delivery

Our manufacturing partner fabricates the boards. We oversee quality control, then ship with tracking, documentation, and full traceability.

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.

Can you support restricted country-of-manufacture rules or non-China PCB sourcing?

Yes. Our qualified manufacturing partner network spans multiple regions, including South Korea, Europe, the UK, and China. For spaceflight, autonomous systems, defence, and critical infrastructure programs that prohibit manufacturing in specific countries (such as non-China or non-Russia sourcing), we match your build to an approved facility. We can quote strictly within your approved-country list from day one, or provide side-by-side options for fast-turn prototyping and country-restricted volume production. Where export controls apply, we sign End-Use Statements (EUS) naming the exact fabrication facility before controlled design files are released, prohibit unapproved subcontracting, and provide matching Certificate of Conformance (CoC) traceability.

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.
  • Country-of-origin flexibility - we support non-China and approved-country sourcing with named-facility traceability.
  • Boards only - we supply bare PCBs and don't assemble, so we never compete with the assembly houses we supply.
