About Resurgent Manufacturing Services

At Resurgent Manufacturing Services (RMS), we tackle the persistent and complex challenge of obsolescence in the semiconductor industry. Rapid technological advancements, industry consolidation, and the prioritization of cutting-edge fabrication processes have left many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in a difficult position. As newer innovations take precedence, securing long-term supplies of older yet critical components has become increasingly challenging. Resurgent steps in to provide innovative solutions that ensure continuity and reliability for our partners.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bridge this gap by offering a proven strategy: extended manufacturing. Our mission is to bridge this gap by offering a proven strategy: extended manufacturing. We work closely with OEMs, semiconductor manufacturers, and distributors to create tailored solutions that ensure the ongoing availability of essential components. By taking over the production of mature technologies, we allow semiconductor manufacturers to focus on their core innovations while providing OEMs with reliable, high-quality parts that meet their exact specifications. This collaborative approach benefits all parties, creating a win-win-win scenario.


Making Obsolescence Obsolete

The Challenge of Mismatched Lifecycles

The life cycles of semiconductor components rarely align with those of end products in industries like automotive, industrial, networking, and defense. As semiconductor companies streamline their product portfolios, more devices face end-of-life (EOL) status. This creates a ripple effect of challenges for customers, including sourcing concerns, redesign costs, and qualification requirements for alternative components.

Resurgent Manufacturing Services addresses these issues head-on. We leverage extended manufacturing to provide continuity for EOL components, ensuring that OEMs can maintain their production lines without costly disruptions. Whether it’s a high-value, low-volume need or a large-scale requirement for a unique part, we specialize in delivering solutions tailored to each customer’s specific challenges.

Proven Solutions

With over five years of experience and millions of parts delivered, Resurgent has established itself as a trusted leader in extended manufacturing. Our business model is proven, effective, and cost-efficient—helping organizations strategically bridge the lifecycle gap and overcome obsolescence challenges. By partnering with Resurgent, OEMs and semiconductor manufacturers can focus on what they do best while ensuring their products’ continued success.

Exceptional Value
