Experience That Powers Innovation

OSDA’s capability for rapid prototyping and new product introduction is one of our core strengths. With more than 35 years of experience, we provide customers the confidence of knowing their products can reach the market in the shortest possible time.

Drawing from a large inventory of components and applying some of the most efficient processes in the industry, we consistently deliver prototypes with one-, two-, or three-day turnarounds. This speed helps our customers move from concept to production without delay.

A Full-Service Electronics Assembly Manufacturing Company

As a leading electronics assembly manufacturing company, OSDA has built its reputation on rapid turnaround times, superior product reliability, sound management, financial stability, and advanced technology.

OSDA’s capability for rapid prototyping and new product introduction is one of our core strengths. With more than 35 years of experience, we provide customers the confidence of knowing their products can reach the market in the shortest possible time.

OSDA blends quick-turn agility with full-service electronics manufacturing, making us a trusted partner across medical, defense, robotics, and industrial sectors. From prototype builds to large-scale production, we deliver the speed, reliability, and consistency you need to succeed.

Beyond prototypes, we offer the scale and capability to support everything from pilot runs to full production. All stages of assembly—SMT, thru-hole, box build, and testing—are handled in-house, ensuring complete control over quality and timing.

Our 17,000-square-foot facility in Milford, Connecticut is equipped with modern EMS equipment and a highly trained workforce. Certified to ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015, we ensure our teams remain current on emerging industry practices. This combination of experience, technology, and people enables us to deliver reliable prototypes and production volumes on time and to exact specifications.

Today, OSDA consistently outperforms both larger and smaller competitors by working effectively within the tightest production schedules.

Our History

OSDA has grown from a 2,000-square-foot startup in 1987 to a modern 20,000-square-foot facility today. From the very beginning, our focus has been the same: delivering reliable, quick-turn PCB assembly, whether for prototypes or production builds.

In October 1987, George Grom and Dave Ingraham founded OSDA as a 2,000-square-foot EMS startup providing manual thru-hole assembly services. At the time, many companies were shifting away from in-house manufacturing to focus on engineering and marketing, creating an opportunity for reliable electronics manufacturing partners. This was the beginning of what became the EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) industry.

By 1988, OSDA had embraced the emerging PCB assembly technology, surface mount technology (SMT), investing in a Zevatech 350 pick-and-place machine capable of 1,500 components per hour. As demand grew, we continued upgrading equipment until 1992, when Mydata lines increased our capacity to 3,600 components per hour. By 1996, the addition of a third Mydata system pushed throughput to more than 15,000 components per hour.

The internet and startup boom of the early 2000s brought a new urgency to product development. OSDA responded by sharpening our focus on rapid prototyping and quick-turn PCB assembly, helping emerging businesses take advantage of narrow market windows. To meet demand, we transitioned to high-speed Fuji SMT platforms, expanding capacity to more than 120,000 components per hour.

Over the following years, OSDA continued investing in advanced technologies, adding automated optical inspection (AOI), selective soldering, automated warehousing, point-to-point testing, and enhanced MRP systems. Most recently, X-ray inspection was introduced to further strengthen quality control. Alongside these upgrades, we achieved ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications, underscoring our commitment to delivering quick-turn assemblies that work right out of the box.

Quality Testing

Built on Experience, Driven by Quality

OSDA is committed to continuous quality improvement. As a quick-turn specialist, we operate with a zero learning curve. That means we process numerous new assemblies each week, often with required deliveries of four days or less. With these strict demands, we do not have the luxury of time to “learn” how to build something — we must get it right the first time.

Engineers working under tight schedules rely on OSDA to introduce new products on time and in working condition. With our certified processes and quick-turn capabilities, we consistently deliver assemblies that work right out of the box — whether for product launches, trade show deadlines, or critical production needs.

Our People

Behind every project is a team of professionals who bring decades of experience in electronics contract manufacturing. Trained to IPC-A-610 standards and supported by an in-house training facility, our workforce ensures that every prototype and production build meets the highest levels of quality and reliability.
