Rocket EMS Inc., founded in Jan 2011, is a Santa Clara, Calif.-based Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) company serving fast-growth, high-technology companies. We are uniquely positioned to meet the very high demands of New Product Introduction (NPI) manufacturing and test. Rocket is a one-stop partner, specializing in ultra-quick-turn (24 – 48 hour) manufacturing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), design and complementary services. Our core team has a proven track record of investing in and utilizing advanced technology, equipment and software to manufacture customer products extremely quickly with the highest quality. Our strategy is to build a team of the industry’s very best people, to invest in the most advanced technologies and to serve as a model for EMS industry best practices.
