This September, MaRCTech2’s Jennifer, Krystal, and Nick will be in Santa Clara for PCB West 2026, one of North America’s most concentrated gatherings of people who turn electronic ideas into manufacturable, reliable hardware.
Stop by and see what's new with MaRCTech2 at booth #602.
The event combines four days of technical education with a single, high-energy exhibition day, bringing PCB designers, fabricators, assemblers, test engineers, material specialists, and supply-chain partners into the same conversations.
Organized through the Printed Circuit Engineering Association, it is built around practical PCB design, fabrication, assembly, and testing, not simply product displays or broad technology hype.
The scale is meaningful: more than 2,000 engineers, designers, fabricators, and assemblers typically register, while more than 100 companies exhibit.
That makes the exhibition floor a rare place where a difficult manufacturing question can move quickly from
“Is this possible?”
to
“What would it take to build it reliably?”
This year’s program reaches across the issues that define modern electronics:
Featured technical voices include names familiar to many engineers who take signal integrity, layout discipline, documentation, and design-for-manufacturing seriously:
“It’s Time to Retire the Respin.”
That topic lands because a respin is never just a newboard revision: it can mean schedule pressure, scarce component substitutions, extra lab work, production disruption, and a design team asking why a problem was not caught earlier.
MaRCTech2 is exhibiting (booth #602) because the company’s work lives at the intersection PCB West is designed for:
“Helping customers connect design intent with manufacturing reality. “
MaRCTech2 has more than 25 years of experience as a Pacific Northwest manufacturer’s representative, supporting electronics and PCB-related manufacturers.

For Jennifer, Krystal, and Nick, the booth is less about delivering a rehearsed pitch and more about being available for the useful early-stage conversations:
a board that needs unusual reliability,
a program facing a capability question,
a project needing domestic manufacturing perspective,
or a team trying to avoid discovering a preventable issue after release.
MaRCTech2’s represented manufacturer Calumet Electronics, for example, focuses on high-reliability PCB engineering and fabrication in North America.
The goal is straightforward: put the right people in the same conversation early enough that tradeoffs can be discussed before they become expensive constraints.
What Attendees Can Take Away
Visitors to the MaRCTech2 booth #602 can expect a practical discussion rooted in real project decisions, not generic capability claims.
A good booth conversation may not solve every technical problem on the spot. It can, however, help an attendee leave with better questions, and in electronics manufacturing, better questions early in the cycle are often more valuable than quick answers late in the cycle.
PCB West has some details that are easy to miss but worth remembering:
There is an old pattern in hardware development: a team starts with a schematic, then a layout, then a fabrication package, and only later finds that the real challenge was a manufacturing assumption nobody paused to test.
PCB West creates room for those conversations before the project becomes a rescue mission.
That is why MaRCTech2 will be there.
Jennifer, Krystal, and Nick look forward to meeting engineers, designers, buyers, manufacturing teams, and partners who want to build electronics that move from concept to production with fewer surprises.
MaRCTech2 is listed among the 2026 PCB West exhibitors, so attendees can add the team to their September 30 show floor plans.
