About Global Precision Works

Built by Engineers.
Driven by Precision.
Based in Monterrey.

Global Precision Works (GPW) was founded on a single observation: U.S. OEMs need a nearshore assembly partner that understands complex electromechanical builds — not just circuit boards.

“We take your BOM and build it into a finished product — tested, labeled, and packaged to your specifications.”

“GPW exists to close that gap.”
The Assembly Gap

The electromechanical assembly market has a gap. On one side, mega-tier EMS providers prioritize high-volume board-level production — and mid-market OEMs sit at the bottom of their priority list.

On the other, domestic U.S. assemblers charge 2-3x more and struggle to scale. In between, there is no partner purpose-built for the complex, multi-industry assembly work that today's OEMs demand.

GPW exists to close that gap.

Founded by a team with hands-on experience in industrial manufacturing and assembly operations, GPW was engineered from day one around a specific kind of work: integrating mechanical structures, electrical components, cabling, and testing into complete products — across industries, at scale, under one roof.

That scope is intentional. Many EMS providers define themselves by what they fabricate — PCBAs, flex circuits, semiconductor packages. GPW defines itself by what it assembles: complete systems that combine mechanical enclosures, electronic components, cable harnesses, thermal management, and firmware into products that ship directly to end customers. This assembly-first focus means every process, every hire, and every piece of equipment serves one purpose — building your product to spec, on time, with full traceability.

We chose Monterrey because it is the right location for this work. Two hours from the U.S. border by road. Direct flights to Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, and San Jose. Same timezone as Central U.S. And home to one of the deepest manufacturing talent pools in the Americas.

The pattern we saw was consistent across industries. OEMs building AI server racks, telecom cabinets, medical equipment, and industrial controls all faced the same problem: their assembly partner either treated them as a small fish in a massive PCBA operation or charged domestic U.S. rates that eroded their margins.

Every decision at GPW — from facility layout to hiring to quality systems — was made with one question in mind: does this help us build complex assemblies with more precision, speed, and transparency than any other option our customers have? That question still drives every process we implement and every program we take on.

Our Mission

Assembly-First.
Customer-Driven.
Quality-Obsessed.

GPW is an assembly-first manufacturer. We do not fabricate PCBAs. We do not run high-speed SMT lines. What we do is take your bill of materials — the chassis, the boards, the connectors, the cables, the fasteners, the firmware — and assemble it into a finished product that ships to your dock tested and ready for deployment.

Engineering-Led Process

Our engineering team reviews every design for manufacturability before production begins. Our operators are cross-trained across mechanical, electrical, and cabling disciplines.

Single Point of Accountability

Our quality systems enforce inspection gates at every station — not just at the end of the line. Fewer handoff errors, faster NPI, and one team from quote to delivery.

GPW's mission is to become the most reliable nearshore electromechanical assembly partner for U.S. OEMs — measured not by the number of units shipped, but by the number of customers who come back for their next program.

Operations

Monterrey Facility — Engineered for Multi-Industry Assembly

Quality Infrastructure

Dedicated inspection stations, first article inspection areas

Every production line operates under the same quality framework — regardless of whether the product is an AI server rack, a telecom cabinet, or a medical device enclosure.

GPW runs parallel production programs across multiple industries simultaneously. Each program operates on its own assembly line with dedicated workstations, tooling, and quality documentation.

This separation prevents cross-contamination between programs while allowing shared infrastructure — testing equipment, materials staging, and logistics coordination — to keep overhead efficient.

Production capacity scales through additional shifts, line expansion, and strategic facility growth as demand requires. Your program maintains the same quality systems, the same engineering oversight, and the same accountability chain — from pilot build through sustained production.

Monterrey is a 2-hour flight from most major U.S. cities. Come see the production floor, meet the engineering team, and evaluate our capabilities in person.

Our Team

Engineering-Driven from the First Conversation

At GPW, your first conversation is with an engineer — not a sales representative. We structured our team around one principle: the people who understand the build should be the people who scope, quote, and manage the program.

Dedicated Program Managers

Every customer program is assigned a single program manager who serves as your primary point of contact from RFQ to delivery.

Engineering-First Quoting

Our engineering team reviews every RFQ for technical feasibility, DFM considerations, and assembly process requirements before generating a quote.

Cross-Trained Operators

Production operators are trained across mechanical assembly, electrical integration, and cabling disciplines.

Quality Team Integration

Quality engineers participate from the DFM review stage — not just at end-of-line inspection.

GPW's culture is rooted in engineering discipline. We hire people who think in tolerances, processes, and root cause analysis — because that is what complex electromechanical assembly demands.

Every operator completes a structured training program before joining a production line — covering IPC workmanship standards, ESD handling procedures, and safety protocols. Cross-training is ongoing: mechanical assembly operators learn cabling techniques, and cable assemblers train on testing procedures.

When you visit the facility, you will meet the people who actually build your product. At GPW, the engineering team that quoted your program is the same team that manages production — no handoff gaps, no lost context between departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

About GPW

What makes GPW different from other EMS providers in Mexico?

GPW is assembly-first — we integrate mechanical, electrical, and cabling into finished products rather than focusing on PCBA fabrication. Most EMS providers in Mexico specialize in board-level work. GPW specializes in the system-level assembly that happens after the boards are made: mounting components into enclosures, routing cables, integrating sub-assemblies, testing the complete unit, and packaging for shipment.

How long has GPW been operating?

GPW was founded by a team with hands-on experience in industrial manufacturing and assembly operations. Our processes, quality systems, and facility were engineered to meet international OEM standards from day one. We prove capability through pilot builds and first article validation — you see results before you commit to volume production.

Can I visit the GPW facility?

Yes. We encourage facility tours for prospective OEM partners. Monterrey is a 2-hour flight from Austin, Dallas, or Phoenix, and 3 hours from San Jose. Contact us to schedule a visit with our engineering and operations team. Many customers combine a facility tour with an initial technical review of their assembly requirements.

What certifications does GPW hold?

GPW is pursuing IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620, and ISO 9001 certifications. All assembly processes already follow the workmanship criteria defined by these standards. Industry-specific certifications (AS9100, IATF 16949, FDA 21 CFR Part 820 compliance) are structured into our quality framework and pursued as customer programs require.

How does GPW handle intellectual property protection?

GPW operates under strict NDAs with every customer. We control facility access and segregate production areas by program. We store all project data, BOM information, and proprietary specifications in secure systems with role-based access. Your IP stays yours — GPW builds to your specifications, not ours.

What size companies does GPW serve?

GPW serves Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEMs — typically companies with $50M to $500M+ in revenue. Our sweet spot is mid-market OEMs that need dedicated attention and flexible capacity — the companies that get deprioritized by mega-tier EMS providers. Programs range from pilot builds of 10 units to sustained production of 10,000+ units per month.
