PCB DESIGN AND


PRODUCTION
Circuit Flow Innovations aims to bridge the gap in West Africa’s electronics
industry by delivering high-quality, locally produced, and cost-effective printed
circuit boards (PCBs). We empower students, researchers, and industries with
accessible PCB solutions, starting with the FUTMinna community and scaling
across Nigeria and beyond.

Our vision is to become West Africa’s leading PCB manufacturer, driving technological
advancement through localized production, innovation, and grassroots talent
development. We specialize in designing, fabricating, and assembling PCBs for
consumer electronics, industrial automation, telecommunications, medical devices, and
renewable energy systems.
