What BMK Group does

BMK Group, now operating as HANZA BMK Group GmbH following its October 2025 merger with Sweden's HANZA AB (Nasdaq Stockholm), is a Germany-headquartered Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider offering an integrated "Engineering-to-Manufacturing" (E²MS) model spanning the entire electronics product lifecycle — from concept and embedded security design through SMT/THT series production, ruggedizing, after-sales repair, and refurbishment. The company operates seven production and service sites across four countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Israel, and China), with approximately 1,500-1,750 employees, 17-18 SMT lines, ~80,000 m² of production area, ~150 million components mounted monthly, and a claimed output of over 3 million assemblies per year in its automotive division and 5,500+ active product variants.

The proprietary technology stack centers on the BMK Chain of Trust (an IoT security framework covering secure boot, certificate management, software container updates, and hardware-accelerated cryptography), the pre-certified BMK IoT Module for common cloud platforms, the BMKyourproto digital portal for rapid prototyping (~7 working day turnaround) with AI-supported parts-list analysis, and over 600 PCB design projects executed on Altium Designer and Mentor Graphics Xpedition. Manufacturing covers component sizes down to 0201, PCB sizes 30×15mm to 450×290mm, 1-16 layers, IPC A-610 Class 2, conformal coating, underfill, silicone, and potting for harsh-environment applications. BMK holds a dense certification portfolio including IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO 13485 (medical), ATEX/Ex (explosive atmospheres), IEC 61508 SIL 1-2 (functional safety), EN 50155 (railway), ISO 26262, ISO 27001/27035, ISO 62443, EMAS III, and OHRIS.

BMK serves industrial/automation, automotive OEMs and Tier-1s, medical technology, railway, defence/ATEX, IoT-connected device manufacturers, water treatment, and R&D/startup customers via direct enterprise field sales and the self-serve BMKyourproto portal. Revenue is generated through professional services for electronic development, unit-based hardware sales for series production, long-term supply agreements, and after-sales repair/refurbishment contracts. Reported turnover exceeds €310 million pre-merger; with the HANZA combination, BMK becomes Europe's only integrated electronics-mechanics EMS offering, contributing to a combined group exceeding SEK 4 billion in revenue. Customer base exceeds 400 accounts with no publicly disclosed individual customer concentration.

Product overview

BMK Group is an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider offering a comprehensive portfolio spanning the entire product lifecycle. The core offering consists of three interconnected pillars: Electronic Development (Elektronikentwicklung), Electronics Manufacturing (Elektronikfertigung), and After-Sales Services (Reparaturservices). Supporting these are specialized portals including the BMK Customer Portal for component catalog access, the BMK Interactive Services Portal for repair tracking, and the BMK Suppliers Information Portal. The BMKyourproto sub-brand provides dedicated rapid prototyping services with its own website and interactive ordering portal. The portfolio also includes niche offerings such as Embedded Security services with the BMK IoT Module, Automotive-specific manufacturing with IATF 16949 certification, and ruggedizing services. Following the 2025 merger with Swedish company HANZA AB, BMK Group now operates as the European headquarters for electronic services within the larger HANZA Group.
