Hyve Solutions Corporation, a leading supplier of hyperscale digital infrastructures and a wholly owned subsidiary of TD SYNNEX Corporation, has just announced the opening of new Surface Mount Technology (SMT) lines that increase its production capabilities in the United States. These lines are part of Hyve Solutions Corporation's effort to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States. This expansion strengthens Hyve's continuous commitment to providing clients with a secure supply chain by maximizing efficiency at the local level and reducing lead times.
The new SMT lines are equipped with advanced automated technologies and inspection processes to produce custom-built, high-quality motherboards in the US while reducing lead times for complex system boards. This investment in automation increases PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) capacity and reduces manufacturing cycle times.
President at Hyve Solutions, Steve Ichinaga, remarked,
“Expanding our in-country manufacturing capabilities underscores our commitment to better serve our customers. This investment leads to elevated production capacity and streamlined operations with a focus on secure supply chain, boosting our ability to respond quickly to changing market and customer demands.”

The expansion of US manufacturing capabilities is significant for ensuring a secure supply chain, particularly for federal defense and intelligence agencies and companies that require high levels of supply chain security. Ensuring a secure supply chain for critical components is essential for public cloud providers and government agencies. Hyve Solutions' investment in US-based manufacturing with advanced automation technologies reinforces its commitment to secure supply chain practices.
Sarah Lin, VP of Supply Chain at Hyve Solutions, stated that the opening of the SMT operation boosts their Secure Supply Chain strategy. This investment in US-based automated lines tighten the supply chain, cut lead times, and provide best-in-class secure supply chain benefits to their customers.
The United States and its allies have made the production of secure root of trust (RoT) cards, security modules, and other Trusted Platform devices, including main system boards, a strategic priority. Assuring the security of the supply chain is essential for the public cloud and its users, especially Federal Defense and Intelligence agencies and businesses requiring a high and boosted level of supply chain security.
