About Us
A contract electronics manufacturer in Kelso, in the Scottish Borders, providing an end-to-end service from prototype builds to established production.
Our story
Company History
From component forming in 1994 to today's end-to-end manufacturing service.
Founded in 1994, Icom-Scottech began as a specialist provider of component forming and sub-contract electronics assembly. Over subsequent years, the business expanded its capabilities to support a broader range of electronics manufacturing requirements, from early-stage builds through to repeat production.
Icom-Scottech Limited was incorporated in Scotland on 9 October 2000 and operates from its facility in Kelso in the Scottish Borders. The company’s current ownership structure has been in place since June 2012, when two members of the management team bought out the founding partners, supporting long-term continuity and investment aligned to customer requirements.
Today, Icom-Scottech supports customers with an end-to-end manufacturing service spanning PCB assembly (SMT, THT and hybrid), cable harness production, mechanical and final unit assembly, inspection and testing, supply chain management, and new product introduction (NPI). This breadth of capability enables customers to progress from initial builds to established production with a consistent manufacturing partner operating through controlled processes.
Quality / IPC
Quality and workmanship standards
ISO 9001:2015 certified by SGS under UKAS-accredited certification, with IPC-trained personnel and IPC-aligned acceptance criteria.
Quality is central to Icom-Scottech’s operations and is supported through defined processes, documented work instructions, and a focus on right-first-time manufacture. Our quality policy is based on meeting customer requirements, maintaining consistent workmanship standards, and driving continual improvement through the use of measured performance, internal review and corrective action. Quality controls are applied throughout the manufacturing route, from goods-in verification and in-process inspection through to final test and dispatch release.
Icom-Scottech is certified to ISO 9001:2015, with certification issued by SGS under UKAS-accredited management systems certification. This provides an externally audited framework for consistent delivery, including controls for document and configuration management, competence and training, supplier management, nonconformance control, and corrective and preventive action (CAPA). Regular internal and external audits help to verify that processes remain effective and that improvement actions are implemented and sustained.
Workmanship is supported by IPC-trained personnel and the application of IPC-aligned acceptance criteria appropriate to the product and customer specification. Where customers specify an IPC class, we align build instructions, inspection checkpoints and rework methods to the agreed requirements, helping to ensure consistent assembly quality across SMT, THT, hybrid and cable harness activities. This combination of trained staff, controlled processes and audited management systems provides customers with confidence in product quality, traceability and repeatability.
