EMS Solutions Sets the Standard in Precision, Partnership, and Performance

By Cassandra Hall Headquartered in Ogden, Utah, EMS Solutions has built a reputation as a high-performing electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider that blends agility, deep technical knowledge, and uncompromising quality. With a customer-focused approach and a relentless drive for precision, EMS Solutions serves a range of industries that demand excellence from aerospace and defense to medical, industrial automation, and communications. Founded with a mission to offer more than just contract manufacturing, EMS Solutions delivers end-to-end electronics production services, from printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and testing to box build, prototyping, and full product integration. At the helm of the company is Jesse Westbroek, President, whose vision of accountability, flexibility, and close customer partnerships continues to guide EMS Solutions’ growth trajectory. “We don’t just build boards – we build relationships,” said Westbroek. “Our customers rely on us not only for product quality, but for collaboration, engineering insight, and on-time execution. We take that responsibility seriously.” EMS Solutions was established in Ogden to support growing demand for a regional EMS partner that could meet complex technical requirements without compromising service quality or responsiveness. What began as a lean team of engineers and technicians has since expanded into a full-scale production operation with the infrastructure to support both low- and mid-volume manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and high-mix assemblies. The company’s strategic location in northern Utah gives it logistical advantages for supporting clients across the western United States while maintaining competitive lead times and responsive service. EMS Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of manufacturing services, including: • Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Assembly • Lead-Free and RoHS-Compliant Production • Full Turnkey and Consigned Builds • Rapid Prototyping • Conformal Coating and Potting • Functional and In-Circuit Testing (ICT/FCT) • Box Build and Final System Integration • Supply Chain and Materials Management The team is equipped to handle complex multi-layer boards, tight-tolerance designs, and demanding test protocols. A focus on process control and documentation ensures traceability and consistency across builds, which is an essential requirement for regulated industries. “Whether it’s a prototype run for a startup or ongoing production for a defense contractor, our customers expect precision and accountability at every stage,” Westbroek added. “That’s why we’ve built robust quality systems and cross-trained teams that can flex to meet a range of project needs.” EMS Solutions serves a diverse customer base with a focus on industries in which reliability and compliance are non-negotiable. Core markets include: • Aerospace and Defense: Adhering to ITAR and stringent regulatory standards, EMS Solutions supports avionics, guidance systems, and secure communication technologies. • Medical Devices: With experience in Class I and II medical electronics, the company produces life-critical assemblies requiring detailed process control and traceability. • Industrial Automation: The team manufactures control systems, sensors, and embedded devices used in manufacturing, energy, and robotics. • Telecommunications: EMS Solutions delivers boards and integrated assemblies for wireless infrastructure and data communication applications. This comprehensive experience helps the company stay competitive while offering domain-specific insight to its partners. “We’ve intentionally built a customer base that spans several high-reliability markets,” noted Westbroek. “It’s part of our resilience strategy and it keeps us sharp in terms of compliance, process discipline, and continuous improvement.” Quality is more than a buzzword at EMS Solutions; it’s a core operating principle. The company is ISO 9001-certified and continually invests in training, inspection systems, and process audits to uphold the highest standards. Every build is subjected to rigorous quality checks, including automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray for ball grid array (BGA) assemblies, and customer-specific testing protocols. The quality team works in tandem with production and engineering to maintain closed-loop feedback, helping to identify potential issues before they become problems. This commitment to proactive quality control contributes to EMS Solutions’ exceptionally low defect rates and high customer retention. “Our customers trust that when we deliver a product, it’s ready to perform in the field,” Westbroek said. “That trust is earned through consistent results and open communication.” What sets EMS Solutions apart is its partnership-based approach to contract manufacturing. The team doesn’t just accept files and push builds out. Instead, they engage early, provide feedback on manufacturability, suggest cost-saving changes, and help customers optimize for performance and scale. The company’s engineering support includes: • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) • Design for Test (DFT) • Material and Component Selection Guidance • Value Engineering This hands-on, engineering-backed support shortens product development cycles and ensures smoother transitions to production. “Our goal is to make life easier for engineers and product managers,” added Westbroek. “When we catch a potential issue early or recommend a better process, we’re helping our customers reduce risk and improve outcomes.” As EMS Solutions continues to grow, the leadership team remains committed to measured, customer-centric expansion. Investments in new automation equipment, improved data systems, and employee development help the company scale without sacrificing its core values. Plans for facility upgrades and expanded capabilities are in motion, aimed at supporting more complex assemblies and larger production runs while keeping lead times competitive. “We’re growing, but we’re doing it in a way that protects what makes us valuable to our customers: our flexibility, our quality, and our responsiveness,” Westbroek emphasized. “We’re not chasing volume for volume’s sake. We’re focused on smart growth that deepens our partnerships.” In a competitive landscape where EMS providers are often defined by size or global footprint, EMS Solutions proves that precision, accountability, and service are the true differentiators. From its home base in Ogden, the company has cultivated a loyal customer base across high-demand industries by doing the things that matter most – building trust, delivering excellence, and solving problems collaboratively. “At the end of the day, we’re here to help our customers succeed,” Westbroek concluded. “That’s our job, and we love doing it.” For more information about EMS Solutions, contact Cassandra Hall, Office Manager, at 2520 North Rulon White Blvd., Ogden, Utah 84404; 801-773-5509; E-mail: jwestbroek@myemssolutions.com; Web site: www.myemssolutions.com.
