Connect Group, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), has announced the formation of Connect Group USA INC., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s global growth and reinforces its commitment to serving the Americas with enhanced capabilities and proximity.
Strategic Expansion to Meet Market Demand
The establishment of the new U.S. entity is driven by growing customer demand for American-made products and the need for localized, responsive manufacturing solutions. Connect Group USA will specialize in Assembly & Module Building and After-Sales Services, supported by core functions in Sales, Test Development, Production Center Operations, and a Customer Focus Center.
The new facility is scheduled to be fully operational by Q4 2025.
“This expansion reflects Connect Group’s commitment to bringing services closer to its clients and to supporting the increasing demand for products made in America,” said Jeroen Tuik, CEO at Connect Group.
Georgia Chosen for Strategic Advantages
The state of Georgia was selected as the base for this expansion due to its strong infrastructure, skilled labour pool, and excellent access to key transportation networks. These factors will enhance the operational agility and efficiency of Connect Group’s U.S. operations.
The new plant will maintain the operational flexibility seen across Connect Group’s global sites, enabling rapid adaptation to market shifts and customer requirements.
Benefits for Clients in the Americas
Connect Group USA is positioned to deliver substantial value to clients through:
- Reduced Tariffs and Duties: U.S.-based assembly helps mitigate import-related costs.
- Faster Delivery: Domestic manufacturing allows shorter lead times for American customers.
- Cost Optimization: Where applicable, a hybrid approach utilizing Mexico’s cost-effective PCBA manufacturing alongside U.S.-based final assembly may serve as a strategic solution to optimize both costs and compliance with local regulations.
- Enhanced Market Access: Products made in the USA carry significant value across a range of industries.

Through this expansion, Connect Group reinforces its role as a trusted EMS partner for businesses operating in regulated or technically demanding markets. Its end-to-end capabilities—from design and PCB assembly to system integration and after-sales services—allow it to adapt to varied customer requirements with speed and precision.
