Starting 2026 with Momentum: Building What’s Next in Advanced Manufacturing
As we begin 2026, innovation across advanced technology sectors continues to accelerate — and so do the expectations placed on manufacturing partners. At Applied Engineering, we’re entering the new year with a clear focus: helping our customers turn complex ideas into reliable, scalable, and production-ready solutions.
Over the past year, we’ve continued to expand our capabilities across electromechanical assembly, precision manufacturing, and design for manufacturability (DFM). Today, we proudly support customers across a wide range of industries, including semiconductor equipment, medical devices, aerospace and defense, clean energy, robotics / automation, and other emerging technologies. Each of these sectors demands precision, speed, and a deep understanding of complex systems — and that’s where Applied Engineering excels.
What’s Driving 2026 at Applied Engineering
Agility from NPI to Production
Whether supporting early-stage robotics platforms, advanced semiconductor tools, or regulated medical and defense programs, our teams are focused on flexible manufacturing models that enable rapid iteration while maintaining quality and repeatability.
Design with Manufacturing in Mind
Design for manufacturing (DFM) remains a cornerstone of our approach. By engaging early in the design phase, we help customers across aerospace, medical, and high-tech markets reduce cost, minimize risk, and accelerate time to mark
Supporting High-Impact and Mission-Critical Technologies
From highly technical semiconductor and robotics assemblies to mission-critical aerospace and defense systems and precision medical equipment, Applied Engineering continues to invest in the people, processes, and partnerships needed to meet the highest performance and compliance standards.
