Known for its vast catalog of physical electronics products including original development boards, sensors and more, SparkFun has also amassed a wealth of knowledge and industry connections over its 17 years in operation. This knowledgebase provides the foundation for these services while providing value to business customers seeking to create products.

Over the last decade, SparkFun has tested and refined ideas for services by partnering with companies such as Digi-Key, RedHat, Sphero and u-blox, resulting in creative and mutually beneficial outcomes spanning consultation, development, manufacturing and logistics. The first official service customer for SparkFun is FarmHand Automation, based out of Maine, who has contracted with SparkFun for a Custom Assembly part for their autonomous robots.

"From the start, SparkFun has been dedicated to making electronics more accessible. With these service offerings, we are able to leverage our development expertise and logistics capabilities to help our business partners achieve their goals. While most of these services are not new to us and were developed to meet the needs of our partners over the last decade, we are excited to now be able to offer them to a wider audience. By sharing access to our network, we hope to help streamline our customers' ability to integrate the tech they have into the product they need," stated Glenn Samala, SparkFun CEO.
