Contract Production Ltd

Contract Production

Contract Production Ltd is a Contract Electronics Manufacturer based in Pickering, North Yorkshire. The Company’s principal activity is the manufacture of printed circuit assemblies using both surface mount and through-hole technology. 

Cable assembly and complete product manufacture are also undertaken and the Company has a network of contacts such as plastic moulders and precision engineers which enables a one-stop, turnkey solution to be provided.

Contract Production prides itself on its flexible response, engineering capability and high standards of quality. The Company serves a wide range of customers but has a particular niche in high quality industrial markets such as instrumentation and can manufacture to Intrinsically Safe standards where required. 

The Company’s quality system is approved to BS EN ISO 9001:2015 and IPC-A-610 is typically used as the PCB assembly standard. Semi and fully automated processes are available whilst, at the other end of the scale, CPL are happy to work with customers at the prototype and pre-production stage.

 As well as its traditional business, Contract Production Ltd is currently seeking long term partnerships with client companies having innovative ideas requiring product realisation. 

We can assist with product development and design for manufacture and look forward to joining you in a creative and profitable relationship.
