When you think of Carlsbad, California, you may not think about state-of-the-art computer chip manufacturing, but think again. Palomar Technologies has been operating in Carlsbad for over 45 years and is one of only a handful of US manufacturers of automated systems for manufacturing computer chips or computer packages as they are called in the industry.

Established in 1995, Palomar Technologies actually began in the 1970s as the assembly and test products line of Hughes Aircraft Industrial Products Division (IPD). As the automatic microcircuit bonder group, IPD primarily served Hughes’ military and aerospace customers by developing industrial electronics. This core foundation has led Palomar to where is it today – designing, manufacturing and marketing automated solutions for advanced photonic and microelectronic device assembly utilized in today’s smart, connected devices. With a focus on flexibility, speed and accuracy, Palomar’s Total Process Solution™ includes Palomar die bonders, Palomar wire and wedge bonders, SST vacuum reflow systems, along with Innovation Centers for outsourced manufacturing, and Customer Support services.
