CircuitHub secures $28M to manufacture PCBs like cloud computing
▼ Summary
– CircuitHub, an automated electronics factory based in Massachusetts, has delivered over two million circuit boards to 20,000 engineers.
– The company raised $28 million in funding led by Plural, its largest disclosed round in 15 years.
– Plural’s investment is driven by the trend of reshoring, which represents a trillion-dollar market opportunity.
A $28 million funding round, led by the prominent venture capital firm Plural, marks a pivotal moment for CircuitHub, the automated electronics manufacturer headquartered in Massachusetts. This represents the largest disclosed investment in the company’s 15-year history, signaling strong confidence in its next-generation PCB manufacturing model.
Founded by Andrew Seddon, CircuitHub operates as a fully automated electronics factory that has already shipped over two million boards to more than 20,000 engineers worldwide. The company’s platform is designed to streamline the production of printed circuit boards, making the process as scalable and accessible as cloud computing. By removing traditional manufacturing bottlenecks, CircuitHub allows hardware developers to go from design to finished board with unprecedented speed and reliability.
Plural’s bet is not just on the company’s technology but on a massive macroeconomic shift. The trillion-dollar reshoring trend is driving a surge in demand for domestic, agile manufacturing capabilities. As supply chains diversify away from Asia and back toward North America and Europe, CircuitHub is positioned to become a critical infrastructure provider for hardware innovation. The fresh capital will likely accelerate its capacity to serve a growing base of engineers who need high-quality, low-volume production runs without the friction of conventional factories.
