PCB manufacturing and industrialization

We build and assemble your electronic boards: PCBs, SMT and THT assembly, functional testing and CE certification support, from a single unit to series production.

01 / Manufacturing

PCB manufacturing with SMT and THT assembly

We handle the complete assembled board: we source the PCB and components, assemble it with our EMS partner and test it before delivery. No minimum order.

01

PCB manufacturing

We source the bare board from specialist PCB fabricators, built from your Gerber files or our own design, as part of the same order.

02

SMT assembly

Through our EMS partner: components down to 0402 and all package types, including BGA and QFN, with automated optical inspection (AOI).

03

THT/PTH assembly

Through-hole components, wave or hand soldered depending on the board.

04

Functional testing

When we define the test plan, we test 100% of units with 100% functional coverage. If you have your own test protocol, we follow it.

Testing and validation
05

CE certification

We design for compliance, define the compliance strategy with you, select the applicable standards and the test sequence, and recommend a laboratory. We can manage the whole process; the accredited laboratory carries out the tests and issues the certificate.

Testing and certification
06

Turnkey delivery

Assembled and tested boards, or the complete product integrated into its enclosure with the group's mechanical and assembly teams.

Indicative volumes and lead times

We build from a single unit. Lead times depend on the design and are confirmed after design review.

Prototypes

From a single unit. Minimum lead time of 3 weeks after design review.

Pre-series

A run representative of the production process, typically 5–10% of the expected series volume. 4 to 8 weeks.

Series

From 25 units per order to tens of thousands per year. Around 6 weeks for one-off orders, with scheduled deliveries for high volumes.

02 / Approach

From a working prototype to repeatable production

Industrialization prepares the electronic product for stable manufacturing. We review cost, component availability, assembly, testability and integration before scaling the design.

03 / Capabilities

Preparing the production process

From the bill of materials to the first production runs, with the supply chain under control.

01

BOM optimization

Component selection based on cost, availability, life cycle and second sources to reduce obsolescence risk.

02

DFM/DFA

Design for manufacturing and assembly, panelization, solder-paste stencil optimization and pick-and-place rules.

03

Production documentation

Gerber files, drilling files, pick-and-place data, a structured bill of materials, assembly instructions and test procedures.

04

EMS selection

Evaluation of electronic contract manufacturers in Europe and Asia, including quality audits.

05

New Product Introduction

Support for initial production runs, incident resolution, process adjustments and first-unit validation.

06

Supply-chain management

Purchasing strategy, buffers for critical components and alternatives during shortages.

04 / Manufacturing

Local manufacturing and turnkey delivery

We combine the group's manufacturing and assembly capabilities with the suppliers required by each product. Local production allows material quality, costs and deliveries to be supervised directly. Each unit is tested against the agreed production criteria.

We can accompany the full cycle: design, prototype validation, certification support, manufacturing and delivery of the product ready for assembly or commercialization. Electronics can be supplied as a dedicated service or integrated with the group's mechanical engineering, industrial design and assembly teams.
