Intervala, a full-service electronics manufacturing services provider specializing in complex electronic and electromechanical products, has invested more than $6 million in advanced manufacturing technology, automation, and facility expansion to strengthen its high-reliability capabilities for OEMs operating in mission-critical industries.
The Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania-based company said the investment enhances its printed circuit board assembly and electromechanical operations to meet growing demand driven by AI workloads, defense modernization, and advanced medical technologies.
The upgrades include Panasonic SMT pick-and-place systems across five production lines to improve high-accuracy assembly, Panasonic screen printing systems for precise solder paste deposition and repeatable process control, Koh Young automated optical inspection systems for real-time defect detection, Takaya Flying Probe Testing for flexible electrical test coverage, and Fanuc six-axis collaborative robots to support automation and repeatability.
As part of the expansion, Intervala completed a 60,000-square-foot facility build-out, converting underutilized space into fully operational manufacturing capacity. The installation of automated storage and retrieval systems freed up approximately 40,000 square feet of additional floor space, bringing the company’s total manufacturing footprint to roughly 200,000 square feet.
The expanded environment is designed to support advanced electronics designs and integrated electromechanical systems, including fine-pitch and high-density component placement, complex assemblies, rigorous inspection and testing, and end-to-end traceability. The company focuses on low- to mid-volume production programs with stringent reliability requirements across aerospace and defense, medical and life sciences, industrial, and data center markets.
Intervala said the investment strengthens its ability to deliver complex, high-reliability programs at scale while maintaining the flexibility and responsiveness often associated with smaller providers.
