Core offering

FAE Technology is an Italian industrial technology group operating in two main divisions: Electronics and Space. Through its Electronics Division, it provides Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) and Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) for embedded electronics, including design, prototyping, board assembly, and high-level manufacturing. Through its Space Division (Kayser Italia/Kayser Space), it delivers high-reliability (Hi-Rel) electronic sub-systems, OEM space equipment, and end-to-end biotech experiment services for microgravity research aboard the International Space Station.

Product overview

FAE Technology is an Italian industrial technology group operating in two main divisions: Electronics and Space. The Electronics Division functions as both an EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer), integrating proprietary brands Elettronica GF (ready-to-use embedded SOM, Panel PC, and edge computing systems), IpTronix (vision systems, FPGA, wireless communications), and MAS Elettronica (ARM/Linux/Yocto-based custom embedded solutions) to offer a complete ecosystem for design, prototyping, and manufacturing of complex electronic systems. The Space Division, anchored by Kayser Italia and Kayser Space, delivers Hi-Rel electronic sub-systems and end-to-end biotech experiment services for the ISS and microgravity research. The newly launched Solutions Division integrates embedded hardware with cloud and AI services, creating cross-cutting synergies across the Group's portfolio.
