Hi Steve. Sorry you seem to have had a bad experience - i apologise in advence. Please share details, even here publicly. I assure you, we DO manufacture PCBs, ie surface mount technology. We've been doing this for almost 5 years in Nairobi.
@Mathenge_UX @WEGNERJOASH If you are talking about gearbox those guys are trash. Highly price inflated prototypes, and man, they do not do pcb manufacturing. The simply assemble, literally soldering, something I can do by hand. They disappointed me to the core

We are mostly supporting small innovators who we believe are tomorrow's corporates with made in Kenya products for Africa and the world. We're also very proud to be manufacturers of Raspberry Pi Pico for the African marker. We have clients in Europe, Japan and US
@Mathenge_UX As long as he's got clients, I think he's good. Are there industries in Kenya that can benefit from his work?

Hi! Yes we do. We have a high-mix,low-volume lime well suited to printing a variety of board for a variety of clients. Besides cobtract manufacture we also do contract design. We are often cheaper than going t China because of responsiveness and versatility since time is money.
@Mathenge_UX Does he deal with customised PCBs @Mathenge_UX I have been struggling with finding such a service

Met someone who manufactures motherboards in Kenya. Man has a PhD in Solid State Science from Pennsylvania State Uni. Did R&D in Japan. Came back to Kenya to start that company. Says he has customers from Japan, US. Sadly, the work doesn't get much recognition in Kenya

Adani submitted their proposal on 1st March 2024. KAA reviewed, deliberated, and approved it on 1st March 2024. Ministry of Transport reviewed it together with KAA comments and approved it on 1st March 2024. THE ONLY THING GOK DELIVERS EFFICIENTLY IS CORRUPTION!
