Printed Circuit Boards Assembly (PCBA)
It is very clear that China has become the stronghold of electronics manufacturing. The baby steps that China has been taking more than 20 years ago has now made it to be the powerhouse of the electronics industry. It did not blossom overnight but it took its own course of hard work and commitment to get the major part of the PCB output of the world.
Africa should learn from China and start to take those small steps. Apply the popular Chines proverb "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now"
Addis PCB Design has been trying to communicate and even collaborate with institutes and organizations in Ethiopia to implement ways to take the small steps. Addis Abeba Science and Technology University AASTU), as well as Ethiopian Toll Roads Enterprise (ETRE), are two of the institution and organizations that ADDIS PCB proposed ways to start and apply the small steps using technology transfer.
Currently, Addis PCB Design is working closely with local sister company ADDIS Tech Group to start PCB Assembly for prototype boards.
