Raymond M. LaFleur, General Manager of Overseas Sales and Marketing, DEN-ON

NCA saw its largest year ever in 2020 despite the difficulties presented by COVID-19. As an essential business, we were able to remain open and continue production through the lockdowns. We experienced growth across our customer base, including a significant opportunity with one of our long-term partners who received a contract to produce medical equipment related to the pandemic.

Large parts of the electronics manufacturing and design industry have not been overly affected by the global pandemic. In fact, the effect of COVID-19 has actually brought in a significant amount of business to NCA and other US-based contract manufacturers. The huge shift in manufacturing business returning to the U.S. has been a blessing for companies of all sizes, as well as the US economy.

We are anticipating a return from the electronics assembly industry next year. Trends are pointing towards a big return in 2021 continuing into 2025 due to an increased demand of electronic goods. NCA plans to play a role in the return of the U.S.-based manufacturing and design services industry.
