Renova Technology
Leading the Charge in PCB Repair Services

Founded in 1996, Renova Technology began with a clear mission: to address the multifaceted challenges of one of the world’s leading manufacturers of point-of-sale equipment. From the outset, the company provided cutting-edge repair services while also offering detailed, actionable insights into the repair process.

Over nearly three decades, Renova has grown into a trusted name in the PCB repair services industry, serving a diverse range of clients across sectors such as telecommunications, automotive, fintech, aerospace, and IoT.
At the heart of Renova’s success is its dedication to tackling challenges that others might shy away from. Unlike providers for whom repair services are a secondary offering, Renova has built its reputation by making repair its primary focus. This distinction allows the company to create scalable production environments tailored to the unique needs of its clients.

“We are problem solvers,” says CEO Marc Melkerson. “Our clients often come to us with specific issues, and we work collaboratively to find solutions. Whether it’s ball grid array rework, integrated circuit repair, or electromechanical challenges, our team has the expertise to deliver.”

This commitment to problem-solving is evident in the company’s hands-on approach. Customers are often invited to Renova’s facilities in the Atlanta metro area to collaborate with engineers and observe operations firsthand—a level of transparency that builds trust and strengthens partnerships.

Adapting to Challenges

Renova thrives in a constantly evolving industry, where supply chain disruptions, component shortages, and technological advancements demand agility. The company’s ability to adapt quickly is a key reason why manufacturers and contract manufacturers turn to Renova for support.

A notable example of Renova’s expertise can be seen in its work with a Fortune 500 manufacturer. When a critical integrated circuit chip failed during the rollout of a new product, Renova stepped in to prevent a costly manufacturing rerun. By performing precise repairs on 20,000 units and providing valuable data to identify risks, Renova saved the client both time and money while reinforcing their trust in the company.

The flexibility and scalability Renova offers are invaluable to clients facing fluctuating demands. Whether modifying prototypes, handling large-scale repair programs, or engineering new testing protocols, Renova ensures that its services align perfectly with client needs.

Driving Innovation

Renova’s commitment to innovation is reflected in its continual investment in technology and facilities. In 2022, the company expanded its Atlanta-area facility to include a state-of-the-art electrostatic discharge (ESD) repair lab and rework center, designed to handle the latest component sizes and technologies. This expansion not only supported the company’s growth but also created 30 new jobs, including roles in engineering, sales, and customer service.

The company’s repair methodologies are another standout feature. Proprietary “repair plans,” meticulously documented in its ERP system, ensure consistency and quality. Combined with a team of cross-trained technicians—many with more than a decade of experience—Renova delivers an impressive average yield of 96% across all devices.

“Our team’s expertise is our greatest asset,” Melkerson emphasizes. “From master technicians to engineers with decades of experience, every member of our team shares a passion for quality and innovation.”

For Renova, the customer’s success is the ultimate measure of its own. The company operates as an extension of its clients’ teams, focusing on streamlining processes, improving efficiency, and maximizing yields. Whether repairing high-end electronics or addressing large-scale logistical challenges, Renova approaches every project with the same goal: to help clients focus on what’s next.

Looking Ahead

As the industry continues to evolve, Renova remains committed to pushing boundaries. Under the leadership of Melkerson, who has been with the company since 1999, Renova is poised to expand further into the North American market. His vision emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and the company’s role as a trusted partner in repair and supply chain solutions.

Renova’s story is one of growth, adaptability, and commitment to its customers. From its humble beginnings to its status as an industry leader, the company continues to set new standards in PCB repair services. With a team of dedicated experts and a forward-thinking approach, Renova is well-positioned to help clients navigate the challenges of today’s fast-paced technology landscape.
