Antalya Custom PCB Assembly — Contract SMD Assembly & PCB Assembly

Looking for custom PCB assembly? This work, commonly called a “board shop,” is a core area for MARG Engineering. From our workshop in Antalya, Konyaaltı, we don’t just fabricate and populate the board; we run the entire flow from design to a tested, working board under one roof. We ship across Türkiye.

We work in two ways:

  • Contract SMD / PCB assembly — if you already have Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files, we do assembly only (contract PCB assembly / contract SMD assembly).
  • End-to-end design + manufacturing — if you only have an idea or a schematic; we take on schematic design, PCB layout, printed circuit board manufacturing, component sourcing, and assembly.

Scope and Capacity

  • Design tools: Altium Designer & KiCad — multi-layer PCB layout, DFM analysis, impedance control
  • Quantity: Minimum 1 unit for prototypes; 200–2,000 units/batch for production SMD assembly
  • Testing: Flying probe (fixture-free) at low volumes, ICT (fixtured) at high volumes — we recommend the most economical method for your quantity
  • Delivery: Average 2–4 weeks from idea/schematic to a tested, working board
  • Location: Based in Antalya, Konyaaltı, shipping across Türkiye

Industry reality: fixing a DFM error in design costs ~$100, while fixing it after assembly costs ~$1,000 (about 10x). By getting DFM right from the start, we minimize the number of respins (redesign rounds).

Custom PCB Assembly Process

  1. Requirement and file assessment — assembly or end-to-end design; quantity, testing, and delivery time
  2. Schematic + PCB design — Altium/KiCad, impedance control, DFM analysis
  3. Component sourcing + manufacturing files — Gerber, BOM, pick-and-place; lead-time plan
  4. Printed circuit manufacturing + SMD/THT assembly
  5. Functional test + delivery — flying probe / ICT, DFM revision recommendations

Why Choose MARG for Custom PCB Assembly?

  • Single point of contact, end to end — design + printed circuit + assembly + testing in the same team; no coordination headaches
  • Local in Antalya — fast turnaround, face-to-face meetings; shipping across Türkiye
  • DFM priority — the number of respins and hidden costs are minimized from the start
  • Flexible quantity — from 1 unit for prototypes to 2,000 units/batch for production; a test strategy suited to your quantity
  • Embedded software too — board + firmware (STM32/ESP32) in a single project; see STM32 vs ESP32

Frequently Asked Questions

I want custom PCB assembly in Antalya — can I have assembly only (contract SMD assembly)?
Yes. We work in two ways: (1) if you already have a design/Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files, we do SMD/THT assembly only — this is called contract PCB assembly / contract SMD assembly; (2) if you only have an idea or a schematic, we take on schematic design, PCB layout, printed circuit board manufacturing, component sourcing, and assembly end to end. We are based in Antalya, Konyaaltı and ship across Türkiye.
What is your SMD assembly capacity and minimum order quantity?
We do single-unit (1 unit) production for prototypes. For production SMD assembly, the minimum order is 200 units and the maximum capacity is 2,000 units/batch. In the 200–2,000 unit range, test strategy is a critical decision: because fixtured ICT testing typically pays off above several hundred to a thousand units, fixture-free flying probe testing is more economical at low volumes.
How quickly can I get from idea to a tested board?
With a DFM-clean design and in-stock components, the average time from schematic design to a tested, working prototype is 2–4 weeks. The biggest driver of the timeline is usually not manufacturing but the lead time of critical components. For assembly-only (contract) work, the timeline shortens noticeably if the files and materials are ready.
Which design tools and how many board layers do you support?
We work with Altium Designer and KiCad; we do multi-layer PCB layout, DFM analysis, and impedance-controlled design. Contract assembly is possible with your ready file formats (Gerber, BOM, pick-and-place); if the design is ours, we produce the manufacturing files as well.
I don't have a board design, just an idea/schematic — will you still do it?
Yes. Starting from schematic design, we take on the entire flow up to PCB layout, DFM analysis, component sourcing, printed circuit manufacturing, and assembly. In electronics, most first prototypes do not hit perfectly on the first try; by getting DFM right from the start, we minimize the number of respins (redesign rounds).
