We cover U.S.- driven EMS like nobody else.

Not long ago, “contract manufacturing” was a concept that needed explaining. Today it has matured into the well understood electronic manufacturing services (EMS) industry where artful combinations of corporate strengths -- not just in the boardrooms -- but also on design screens, in planning and procurement offices, and even on the manufacturing floors, create well-built cost competitive products for all the world to admire -- and to buy. We cover success stories in EMS and have done so for years. We like to think that nobody does it better.

In-depth coverage of the major issues challenging our industry.

In 1998, it was SMT and BGA technology; in 2002 it was offshore assembly; in 2006, just one of the major challenges facing the electronics industry was RoHS and lead-free requirements in Europe. Coming up -- what opportunities will nanotechnology and organic electronics create and how might companies respond, innovate, and adapt? Find out in U.S.Tech. We cover the watershed of major change.

Thoughtful articles to help build your business. News to keep on top.

Each month our regular departments cover topics intended to help build a business, such as “Management,” “Partnering,” and “Computers.” Other departments cover business news, from mergers and acquisitions (“Business Briefs”), to new rep and distributor agreements, (“Distribution”) and personnel moves, appointments, and promotions (“People”).

Fast-turnaround new product coverage. Lots in the paper. More on the web!

We like to keep in mind that we started as a newspaper -- we print news while it’s still news. Today, global electronic communication tools enable our editorial staff to post news announcements online and put them into print faster than ever.
Our new product editor operates on quick turnover -- practically every item covered in an issue was received since the previous issue. There is no “hopper” at U.S.Tech. We cover only current news items generated within 30 days of publication.
Our readers have come to expect it.
