What Chemigraphic does

Chemigraphic is a UK-based, privately held electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider founded in 1972, headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex, with a sourcing office in Tianjin, China. The company delivers design-led, end-to-end manufacturing services—from concept and design for manufacturing (DfM) through rapid prototyping, surface mount and through-hole assembly, testing, supply chain management, and aftermarket support—to OEM customers in medical, industrial, and security technology sectors, with additional exposure to power, transport, and defence. Named customers include Varian, Elekta, Rapiscan, DAQRI, and Hydro.

Its technical platform centers on automated JUKI SMT kitting (claimed as the only UK EMS with this capability), IFS Applications 10 cloud-based ERP, and a proprietary Product Continuity Management (PCM) tool drawing on 400+ technical standards databases to deliver real-time component pricing, lifecycle, compliance, and obsolescence intelligence. The company maintains over 50,000 part lines in stock and operates SMT lines with a combined capacity of approximately 96,000 components per hour, supported by ISO 9001, 14001, 13485, and 27001 certifications plus IPC workmanship standards.

Chemigraphic generates revenue through B2B project-based manufacturing engagements, with quote-based pricing tailored to customer specifications, volume, and complexity under multi-year contracts. It runs an enterprise field sales motion with early design-stage engagement. The business is privately held; NVM Private Equity invested £7m in July 2019 to support global expansion and med-tech capability development, following the 2017 acquisition of CRS Electronics Ltd. and the 2018 launch of its China sourcing operation.
