Electronics manufacturing has changed dramatically since 1973.

What hasn’t changed is the importance of having a manufacturing partner who does what they say they’ll do.

At Aurora Boardworks, we help OEMs manufacture the electronics their products depend on, with a focus on quality, communication, and predictable execution.

Because a good manufacturing relationship should make your operation easier to manage, not harder.

Our Promise to You

YOUR TEAM HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS TO SOLVE. YOUR PCB ASSEMBLY SUPPLIER SHOULDN’T BE ONE OF THEM.

When PCB assemblies arrive late, production doesn’t simply wait.

Purchasing starts making calls. Engineering gets interrupted. Schedules change. Customers want answers.

And suddenly, a relatively small component of your finished product is consuming an enormous amount of your team’s attention.

We believe a manufacturing partner should help reduce that uncertainty.

Aurora Boardworks focuses on dependable PCB assembly, clear communication, and manufacturing relationships built around the needs of our customers.

Our goal is straightforward: help OEM teams spend less time managing supplier problems and more time moving their businesses forward.

 

Brand Story

OUR HISTORY MATTERS. WHAT WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS ACCOMPLISH MATTERS MORE.

Aurora’s roots go back to 1973, when entrepreneur Cliff Williams founded International Sensor Systems, Inc. (ISSI).

Over the decades, electronics technology, manufacturing methods, and customer expectations have evolved. But one challenge has remained remarkably consistent: manufacturers need suppliers they can depend on.

Cliff Williams built the business around customer satisfaction, professional integrity, and a commitment to quality. Those principles remain important to Aurora today.

As the company expanded its capabilities and shifted its focus toward custom PCB assembly, ISSI became Aurora Boardworks in 2023.

Today, Aurora Boardworks combines decades of manufacturing experience with modern PCB assembly capabilities to support OEMs across a range of industries.

We’re proud of where we’ve come from. We’re even more focused on helping our customers confidently plan what comes next.

"Work hard. Tell everyone everything you know. Close a deal with a handshake. Have fun!"

–Harold "Doc" Edgerton

 

REAL PEOPLE. REAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

Behind every assembly is a team responsible for getting the details right.

Our customers aren’t simply buying circuit boards.

They’re depending on the people who source, assemble, inspect, test, and deliver them.

We believe accessibility, communication, and accountability are essential parts of a successful manufacturing relationship.

WHAT COULD YOUR TEAM ACCOMPLISH IF YOUR PCB ASSEMBLY SUPPLIER STOPPED BEING A DAILY CONCERN?

Maybe your current supplier is doing a great job.

Maybe you’re exploring a second source.

Or maybe your team has become so accustomed to expediting, adjusting schedules, and working around supplier problems that nobody questions the cost anymore.

The question isn’t whether another manufacturer can promise better service. It’s whether your team has accepted problems that shouldn’t be part of manufacturing in the first place.

No assumption that Aurora is the right fit. Just an opportunity to find out.
