Any Mom and Pop shops left?

[Danny Carr]

With all the big discount online PCB manufacturers & off shoring are there any small "Mom & Pop" PCB companies left out there, or have they all gone
the way of the corner market and corner hardware store?
If so who are you and where are you?
What does the future look like?
Who are your main customers?

"Mom and Pop"
5 or less employees.

One of my friends runs a small family operation. Maybe around 5 employees. They struggle and stay afloat. One major problem is dealing with the environmental stuff with plating.

They do good work, been around since the 1950s. Dad passed the business on to his son.

Chet Vedder. Major Scientific Industries.

Many of his clients are old school like the Navy. I wonder about the future for them.
