UIRA Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Tour

PLEASE NOTE:

This tour is for Retirees only. If you attended the previous SEL tour in May 2025, we ask that you allow others to attend who could not make the first tour.

On April 15, 2026 at 10:30 Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories will offer UIRA members an inside look at its printed circuit board factory along U.S. Highway 95 on the southern edge of Moscow. The employee-owned company dedicated the new factory and the 150 acres surrounding it in June 2023.

The $100 million, 162,000-square-foot facility is among the few printed circuit board manufacturing facilities to be built in the U.S. in the last decade. The SEL factory is designed to rank among the top 10 producers of printed circuit boards nationally.

The advanced manufacturing technologies in the new factory enable SEL to strengthen its supply chain for printed circuit boards. They are critical components in the electronic devices SEL manufactures in Pullman; Lewiston; West Lafayette, Indiana; and Lake Zurich, Illinois. It also allows SEL to use highly automated processes that are quality-focused, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

General Tour reminders:
