History
The Village of Calumet, founded 1864, was once at the
center of the copper mining industry in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. With copper mining booming in
the late 1800 the mines employed over 100,000
workers. The copper mines were particularly rich,
producing more than half of the copper from
1871 through 1880.

History
Fascinated by advances in semiconductors, a local
engineer was experimenting with fabrication of circuit
boards in his garage. As the mines closed, he saw and
opportunity to provide jobs if investors could be
found to convert his hobby into a company. Over 60
business owners, professionals, and merchants
answered his call, becoming the founding share
holders in a new venture.

Why Calumet?
Quality Through Process Control
Calumet believes that highly reliable manufacturing processes are the key to producing
very consistent product. We monitor hundreds of key process characteristics critical to
product quality. We strive to maintain each characteristic at or above a Cpk value of 1.33.
Our strategically placed in-process inspections, final inspections, and automated
electrical and mechanical verification steps assure our customers that Calumet circuit
boards can be received and placed directly into their stock without additional incoming
inspection.
Calumet Electronics is one of only fourteen printed circuit board manufacturers in North
America to achieve Nadcap accreditation. In addition to our existing ISO 9001 and
AS9100 certifications, Nadcap provides a significant pre-qualification status to attract
and retain customers in aerospace, defense and other sectors where high reliability is
required. Nadcap represents an unprecedented cooperative industry effort to improve
quality, while simultaneously reducing cost and improving efficiencies.

Why Calumet?
Committed to North American Manufacturing
Calumet PCBs are found all over the globe, but each and every board is
manufactured in North America. Calumet Electronics was founded in 1968 with
the mission of creating jobs in Northern Michigan. Today, as a world leader in
manufacturing high-performance PCBs, Calumet Electronics remains committed
to North American manufacturing. We live here, work here, and play here.
Inventory Management
inventory management programs greatly benefit medium to large
volume customers by reducing carrying costs, reducing lead-time (to transit
time), and reducing supply chain variability and risk.
EDI Capable
Calumet's Internet-based electronic transactions use standard electronic data
interface (EDI) templates that integrate supply-chain management systems to
increase productivity throughout the organization. Integrated systems provide
increased flexibility to balance supply with demand with inventory management
programs that drive down the cost of inventory and reduce lead times to as short
as transit time.
