Rocket EMS would rather invest its effort in figuring out how to solve a problem instead of telling you all the little things that will delay a project or get in the way. Too many EMS manufacturers would rather tell you what they can’t do instead of just delivering on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.

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. With this as our foundation, we’re committed to executing far above our competitors.
It isn't easy, but if you put the right people together, all with exceptional experience, a shared drive, and a pursuit of excellence, you’ll have something truly remarkable. Throw in a facility with top of the line equipment and you have the core of what is Rocket EMS.
