Making Great Products for Great Customers Since 2007

 

Our philosophy is to provide ruggedized, durable, and innovative solutions for customers who need more from the Arduino platform.  We started by designing our products with as many protective features as possible.  These safety features protect against user mistakes and environmental stressors- ESD, vibration, power surges/brownout, atmospheric variables, temperature, to name only a few.  

Next we decided to handcraft the equipment in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the United States.  Rather than mass producing products elsewhere, we carefully craft the hardware with some aspects completed by hand.  Our manufacturing runs total in the hundreds, and not the thousands.  Doing this allows us to continually refine the products to keep them as advanced as possible with the highest performance specs and keep pricing low.  We always try to keep enough product in stock, but at times our products may go out of stock temporarily as we adjust to the demand.  Always feel free to contact us to see when an out of stock item will be replenished.

Marketing wise we do not advertise-it is 100% word of mouth recommendations from our customers.  We pride ourselves in our large and growing customer base and the truly inspiring applications which the Rugged brand is integrated.  We are so very proud of our customers and thank them for the support they provide and their efforts to promote the Rugged Circuits brand across forums and within the community.  Each and every word of mouth recommendation is so greatfully appreciated. THANK YOU TO ALL of our customers and clients spanning 15 years!

We have THOUSANDS of satisfied customers since 2007 and rapidly gaining more!

We are excited to help YOU! Our customers demand hard working platforms that will endure and positively impact their project and bottom line.  We offer both off the shelf products and custom designed solutions (see link below.). This is how we have constructed our reputation over the last 15 years!  If you are visiting our site you were either referred by an extremely satisfied customer, or are a returning customer.  We don't advertise- everything is word of mouth.  This alone is a testament to the quality and value of our products. 

Custom Design

We offer multiple engineering services including Design, Prototyping, Firmware Development, Testing, Design Review, and End Manufacturing. Need a turn-key solution? No problem, Rugged Circuits specializes in taking a napkin sketch and transforming it into a market-ready product. Bring YOUR ideas to life with our highly regarded custom design program.
