About Z-AXIS, Inc.
Z-AXIS, Inc. was founded in 1989 in Phelps, New York, a small community near Rochester, to produce rugged video display monitors. The company operated as a subsidiary of Video Display Corporation from 1991 until 2013, when it became a locally owned, privately held New York corporation. Co‑owners Michael Allen, who has been with the firm since its inception, and Robin Allen lead the business alongside a board that includes Michael Good and Nick Valente. Today Z‑AXIS runs a 32,000‑square‑foot design and manufacturing center where electrical, PCB layout, and mechanical engineers work alongside production teams. The facility handles printed circuit board assembly from through‑hole to fine‑pitch surface‑mount technology, wire‑harness and cable assembly, and full box‑build integration. It also designs and manufactures power supplies under the Bear Power Supplies brand. The company states it can support prototype runs through high‑volume production. Customers span commercial, medical, industrial, military, aerospace, and consumer sectors. Named clients include Alstom, Baxter, Connection Technology Center, Crosman, Lasermax Defense, and Vista Dental. Z‑AXIS serves companies across the United States and Canada from its western New York location. The firm emphasizes its integrated design‑and‑manufacturing model as a differentiator, citing fast design turnaround, competitive NRE charges, and low freight costs. Quality systems include automated optical inspection of every board with electronic serial‑number tracking, unique thermal profiles per board design, X‑ray inspection of leadless packages, and a digital inspection database (ZIP) implemented in 2016. A $1.5 million expansion underway will double SMT capacity.
