About Shipco Circuits

We're a PCB contract manufacturer with 50 years of expertise. We don't own factories—we partner with qualified manufacturers across Asia, Europe, and North America to match each job to the optimal facility.

Our team has run production floors, not just sales desks. That hands-on experience means we catch problems before they cost you time and money.

What We Do

Technical Review

Every job gets reviewed by engineers before quoting. We flag manufacturability issues, suggest improvements, and help you avoid costly revisions.

Factory Matching

We're factory-agnostic. Your job goes to the facility best suited for it—whether that's quick-turn prototypes or high-volume production.

Quality Oversight

We maintain relationships with our manufacturing partners and oversee quality throughout production. Your boards meet IPC standards.

Technical Guidance

Stuck on a design decision? We've seen thousands of builds. Our guidance comes from real manufacturing experience, not textbooks.

Our Heritage

Ship Co Ltd was established in Ireland in 1975, operating a manufacturing facility in Macroom, Co. Cork. The company built a reputation for technically demanding PCB work and reliable service to the European electronics industry.

Our team today includes engineers with decades of hands-on manufacturing experience - multilayer, RF, HDI, and advanced technologies. That expertise is in-house, and it's how we review your designs before quoting and guide your projects through production.

Over the decades, the business evolved from in-house production to a contract manufacturing model, building global manufacturing partnerships while retaining deep technical expertise. Today, Shipco Circuits Ltd (Ireland) and Shipco Circuits NA Inc (Vancouver, Canada) serve customers across Europe and North America.

Our Brand Evolution

Our identity has evolved alongside the company—from a local Irish manufacturer to a global PCB partner. The sailing ship has been our symbol since the beginning, representing journey, reliability, and the spirit of navigation that guides our work.

Today Ship meets circuit

The current mark is a reef knot formed from circuit traces—a nod to our tall ship heritage. The knot represents commitment, a strong bond, and a shared journey: two parts working together. That's how we see partnership with our customers.

What We're Not

Not the cheapest option. We compete on expertise and reliability, not price. If you need the lowest quote, we're probably not the right fit.

Not instant quoting. We review jobs technically before quoting. That takes time, but it means fewer surprises during production.

Not a portal. You work with real engineers, not automated systems. We answer questions, discuss options, and help you make informed decisions.
