ROANOKE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
About REC
Roanoke Electronic Controls, Inc. (REC) is a US-based company dedicated to the design and manufacture of quality electronic controls. We offer a turn-key solution, taking your concept through design, prototyping, and production.
Our team of experienced engineers works directly with clients to develop customized electronic solutions for a wide range of industries. From initial concept and feasibility studies through production and ongoing support, REC is your partner for the entire product lifecycle.
With our ANSI/ISO 9001:2015 registered quality management system, every step of our process is documented, audited, and continuously improved to ensure the highest standards of reliability and performance.
Why Choose REC
Full-Service Engineering
No need to coordinate between separate design firms, board houses, and software contractors. REC handles hardware design, PCB layout, firmware, and software development in-house — one team, one point of contact, from concept to production.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
Our registered quality management system means every product is built under documented, audited processes with full traceability — not just promises, but verified results.
100% US-Based
Design, engineering, and manufacturing all under one roof in Alabama. No overseas delays, no communication barriers, no supply chain surprises.
True Turn-Key Partner
From napkin sketch to production run — concept, design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and ongoing support. One team, one relationship, total accountability.
Military-Grade Soldering
Navy-certified soldering expertise meets automated SMT and through-hole production. Every board passes 100% electrical testing before it ships.
Direct Engineer Access
Talk directly to the engineers designing your product — no sales middlemen, no ticket queues. Fast answers, faster iterations, better outcomes.
Our Services
Materials Management
Our ISO 9001:2015 compliant global supplier network delivers competitive pricing through strategic agreements. Integrated manufacturing software optimizes cost and lead-time across every component.
Manufacturing Technology
Automated placement equipment for both through-hole and surface mount production. 100% electrical testing capabilities with Navy-certified soldering expertise ensure the highest quality output.
Product Support
Custom labeling, packaging solutions, and climate-controlled warehouse storage. Comprehensive warranty support and failure analysis services keep your products performing in the field.
Quality Assurance
ANSI/ISO 9001:2015 registered with scheduled audits, documented procedures, and continuous improvement. Statistical process control and supplier quality management ensure consistent excellence.
Connected Product Design
We specialize in multi-processor architectures with over-the-air (OTA) update capabilities. Our designs coordinate multiple microcontrollers within a single product, with cloud-connected firmware update systems that let you push improvements to devices in the field — no truck rolls, no recalls.
Firmware, Software & Apps
Full-stack development from bare-metal firmware to cloud dashboards. We build embedded firmware, desktop software, and native Android & iOS companion apps — all designed in-house to work seamlessly with your hardware. One team owns the entire stack.
End-to-End Engineering Under One Roof
Most manufacturers hand off design work to outside firms — adding cost, delays, and communication gaps. REC keeps engineering in-house. From initial concept through hardware design, PCB layout, firmware, and software development, one team owns your project from start to finish.
