TraX Printed Circuit Board Fabrication & Manufacturing
Since 1996, the team at TraX have been a PCB fabrication company manufacturing printed circuit boards for companies
throughout South Africa. Our experience, knowledge, skill and passion for PCBs have helped us to steadily grow
and expand our business, and keep us at the forefront of the South African electronics industry.
Our printed circuit boards fabricated are used in a wide range of electronic products and computer manufacturing,
and we’ll work with you to manufacture PCBs that are both perfectly suited to your requirements and meet all your
technical specifications. The team at TraX regularly work with clients in the defence, data acquisition, music,
telecommunications and security industries to deliver high quality and reliable printed circuit boards.
Printed circuit board manufacturers you can trust
Whilst TraX isn’t the largest PCB fabrication & manufacturing company, we believe that our size allows us to ensure
your orders are carried out to the highest standards. We’re proud to be the first South African printed circuit
board manufacturers awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification from the South African Bureau of Standards and we are
the only South African company entitled to use the UL mark on our products.
It’s this dedication to providing quality to our customers that makes us the first choice of PCB manufacturing
companies for a number of businesses throughout South Africa.
Why choose TraX?
From simple single-sided PCBs to complex multilayered printed circuit boards, we always aim to provide you with
the highest levels of fabrication service and value throughout our entire production process. As well as
specialising in small to medium manufacturing runs, we understand how crucial it is to receive your PCBs on time,
so we make sure we’re never late on delivery.
Ordering your printed circuit boards from TraX offers a more affordable option than importing them from international
companies and you can be assured that you’ll receive the highest levels of customer service from our professional
and friendly team.
