Manncorp
For 50+ years, Manncorp has delivered top-value PCB assembly equipment directly to electronics manufacturers--offering unbeatable prices, full service, expert support, and a commitment to long-term customer success.
From technological breakthroughs to global shifts in manufacturing, Manncorp founder and CEO Henry Mann has witnessed—and helped shape—nearly six decades of change in the electronics assembly industry.
What began in 1966 in his parents’ suburban Philadelphia home is now a thriving, global company—one of the few in this space to not only survive, but continually adapt and grow.
“So many people forget what the American electronics industry looked like in its heyday,” Mann recalls. “In the late ’60s and early ’70s, every industrial park was filled with companies building circuit boards. I quickly realized I couldn’t possibly visit them all.”
Mann recognized that manufacturers needed equipment fast—and that traditional distribution models couldn’t keep up. His solution? A revolutionary direct-to-customer business model powered by print catalogs with published pricing on everything from hand tools to capital equipment. This approach helped define the company’s customer-first philosophy, which remains its backbone today.
Soon, Manncorp began designing and manufacturing its own equipment, with lead forming as an early specialty. Companies like Delco, Motorola, Hughes Aircraft, and TIMEX turned to Manncorp for customized, high-volume solutions, including some of the first systems for forming flat-pack ICs for surface mounting.
With more than 100 employees at its peak—many focused on in-house manufacturing—Manncorp was also one of the first in the industry to offer toll-free technical support, fostering the kind of direct, responsive communication that remains a cornerstone of its service model.
Today, Manncorp operates out of a 35,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Hatboro, PA, and an 18,000 sq. ft. location in San Diego. The company maintains a full-time team of 30+ and partners with manufacturing facilities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Though the tools and technologies have evolved, Henry Mann’s founding principles remain intact. Manncorp’s online catalog now lives at manncorp.com, giving customers instant access to pricing, specs, and real-time support—on any device, from anywhere in the world.
While others in the industry have faded, merged, or lost their identity, Manncorp remains independent, agile, and committed to doing what it does best: delivering the tools electronics manufacturers need—direct, reliable, and built for what’s next.

Manncorp Launches Industry-First "Build Your Own SMT Line" Tool
Jul 08, 2025 | Manncorp, a leading supplier of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) equipment, proudly announces the official launch of its "Build Your Own SMT Line" tool – a first-of-its-kind resource in the electronics manufacturing industry. Introduced just one month ago, this revolutionary online feature gives manufacturers the unprecedented ability to design a complete SMT production line tailored to their exact needs – all from their desktop.
Improved Dip Soldering Systems Have Wider Range of Capability
May 16, 2014 | While dip soldering of through-hole components has long been an easy and affordable way to automate manual soldering processes when the costs of wave soldering cannot be justified, these latest enhancements increase quality and repeatability to a degree that make Auto-Dip systems ideal for virtually any short-run, batch application.
Android(TM) Operating System Controls New Benchtop Reflow Oven
Mar 25, 2014 | An innovative Android-based operating system and high-resolution touchscreen user interface only begin to explain why Manncorp’s new MC-301 Benchtop Reflow Oven is among its hottest new products for 2014. By simulating the environment of an inline reflow system in a small footprint, the MC-301 is ideal for prototyping, manufacturability testing, and even short-run batch production. Its exclusive Android control app allows surface mount assemblers and product developers to meet solder paste manufacturers’ precise specifications for the preheat, soak, reflow, and cooling phases of their recommended profiles. Heating and cooling rates in each stage are also automatically calculated to easily verify compliance with component and material requirements.
High-Precision, High-Mix, Print-Place-Reflow Package Under $47K
Jan 30, 2014 | Manncorp has recently reconfigured and expanded its exclusive selection of SMT turnkey packages, including stencil printers, pick and place machines, and reflow ovens, to accommodate a wider range of production levels and budgets. Among the ten different turnkeys presented on their website at www.manncorp.com/turnkeys is the new 2500-MV package. Priced at only $46,995, the 2500-MV is designed for companies with a limited budget and minimal floor space who need short-run, in-house production capability for ultra-precise, high component-mix SMT assembly.
Closed-Loop, Zero-Discharge PCB Cleaning System in Operation at Manncorp DEMO Center
Sep 28, 2013 | Electronic assemblers in search of a comprehensive, environmentally-safe solution to their PCB cleaning and defluxing needs will want to visit Manncorp’s East Coast Demo Center for a live look at the Trident XLD. The XLD is a fully closed-loop, zero-discharge, aqueous cleaning system, capable of removing both water-soluble or rosin-based flux residues, in addition to other contaminants that can impact the long-term reliability of circuit board assemblies.
Manncorp Installs Selective Soldering and Fluxing Systems at Calsonic Kansei Mexicana
Jul 27, 2013 | Electronic automotive component manufacture Calsonic Kansei Mexicana S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Japan's Calsonic Kansei Corporation, recently purchased two ULTIMA STR2 selective soldering equipment and an ULTIMA SSP selective fluxer. The new equipment reduces process time 30-50% compared to the system it replaced, primarily due to the fact that separate machines allow simultaneous fluxing and soldering with a single fluxing unit serving two selective systems. Quality is also dramatically improved: On the company's first day of production with the ULTIMA systems, 300 PCBs were produced with zero defects or quality issues of any kind.
Manncorp Opens New Corporate & SMT DEMO Center
Jun 20, 2013 | Five consecutive years of strong growth have led electronics manufacturing equipment supplier Manncorp, Inc. to relocate and expand its corporate headquarters. After a comprehensive search, the company this spring purchased, upgraded and moved into a new facility in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, giving the growing company 18,000 sq. ft. of sales, support and warehouse space, plus a full on-site gym for employees.
Dross Separator Recovers Solder and Saves Money Fast
Jun 20, 2013 | Many are unaware that 50-80% of wave solder dross is usable solder alloy. The SEPARO solder recovery system from Manncorp allows companies to quickly and easily reclaim valuable solder in-house for significant cost savings. With the SEPARO solder recovery system, a shift's worth of wave solder dross can be turned into usable solder ingots in under an hour.
New High-speed Pick & Place Machine for Nonstop Production of LED Boards
Feb 08, 2013 | Manncorp introduces the MC-LEDV3, a new high-speed pick and place machine built to assemble LED tube lights, flexible LED strips and LED bulb boards. The MC-LEDV3 features three pick-and-place heads mounted on a high-precision, ball-screw-driven gantry. Simultaneous pickup, on-the-fly (vision based) component alignment, and feeder placement optimization combine to achieve placement rates of up to 10,000 LEDs per hour, per IPC-9850.
Oct 09, 2012 | The ULTIMA Series Selective Soldering and Fluxing Systems offer a new solution for soldering through-hole components and connectors to surface mount and mixed technology PCBs. Numerous engineering and design innovations have resulted in compact, bench-top systems loaded with features that deliver a level of performance that, until now, would have made selective soldering cost-prohibitive for many low- and medium-volume PCB assemblers.
