SETTING THE BENCHMARK

In 2025, Benchmark’s Environmental Challenge engaged 9,000+ employees and delivered measurable reductions in electricity (4%) and water (5%), proving that site-led ideas can create scalable sustainability impact.

As PCBAs continue to pack more functionality into smaller footprints, maintaining signal and power integrity has become not only a design challenge but also a vital factor in stabilizing manufacturing processes. Higher data rates, tighter spacing, and lower voltage margins leave far less room for...

Manufacturers have long viewed collaborative robots, “cobots,” as the gateway to safer, more flexible automation. But as robotics adoption accelerates and human-robot interaction becomes more complex, global standards committees are challenging the industry to rethink robotic safety. Their message...

Releasing Benchmark’s Sustainability Report each year is an important moment to reflect on progress, accountability, and the discipline required to turn commitments into measurable results. With the release of our 2025 Sustainability Report, we mark our fifth consecutive year of transparent...

Precision optics present challenges in the phases of design, prototyping, scaling, and production. In the previous part of this blog series, we began by discussing the challenges to design. However, prototyping and production often create the largest technical issues. Your simulated optical design...

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, most companies entering the robotic surgery space focused on mechanical precision—building arms, joints, and control systems that could mimic a surgeon’s hand. However, as the field matured, some companies recognized a pivotal bottleneck: optics. Vision proved...

Manufacturing limited volumes of complex products has traditionally been a challenge, as it is costly, slow, and heavily reliant on manual processes that introduce risk and inefficiency. With modern technology, where performance and precision are crucial, these limitations can stop businesses from...

For the fifth consecutive year, Benchmark is proud to celebrate World Quality Week (WQW) from November 10 to 14, 2025 – a time to recognize the incredible contributions of our global quality teams and reflect on how quality shapes our culture, operations, and future.

This year’s theme, “Quality:...

A recent article by the Financial Times titled "UK brain monitoring start-up goes from teenage idea to $100mn funding" details the London-based company CoMind, a medical technology startup developing a noninvasive brain monitoring device. The article highlights Benchmark as CoMind's development and...

The battlefield of today is constantly evolving. Incredible advancements in technology not only put more options into the hands of soldiers but fundamentally change how war is carried out. To keep pace, aerospace and defense (A&D) systems must be designed and manufactured to incorporate both...

Benchmark has completed the delivery of 24 Mobile Vehicle Surveillance Systems with Radar (MVSS-R) to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on time and budget. These advanced platforms enhance border security and situational awareness in complex...
