The below photos were taken circa 1960s. A lot of our initial work in electronics came as a by-product of our involvement in the plastics industry. A large portion of this work was done for IBM, which included the fabrication of mainframe PCBs and assembly of handwoven core memory modules, which were the predecessor to computer RAM. We are happy to share these photos with you today so that you can get a taste of the birth of electronics manufacturing.
