Elausa Electronics

What Elausa Electronics does

Elausa Electronics, S.L. is a privately held Spanish Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS/E2MS) provider headquartered in Vic, Barcelona, founded in 1988 by Santi Suñer and Salvador Casacuberta with Jaume Carner joining as partner in 1990. The company operates two business divisions, Industrial and Automotive, delivering full-lifecycle electronic design and manufacturing services (concept, design, industrialization, production, logistics) to OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and consumer/industrial brands. It became Tier 1 supplier to SEAT (Volkswagen Group) in 2013 and has since diversified across the VW Group, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz via Tier 1 intermediaries, including EV platform programs adapted in its Vic facility.

The core technology stack spans three complete SMD assembly lines with combined insertion capacity exceeding 120,000 components per hour, 7-zone reflow ovens controlled to IPC and JEDEC standards, automated optical inspection, Royonic THT insertion, 5-axis conformal coating and hot-melt overmolding, and an in-house EMC and environmental testing laboratory. The company vertically integrates plastic injection and mechatronics through its wholly owned subsidiary Array Plastics (founded 1992, part of Grupo Elausa-Array). Production is gated by IATF 16949:2016 automotive certification, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and TISAX information security assessment, with 100% functional verification on every circuit shipped. Industrial division offerings target HVAC, elevator, energy, automation, consumer appliances, IoT, electromedical, lighting, and off-highway mobility customers.

The business model is enterprise B2B with dedicated Key Account Managers per division, quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed, and a direct sales motion targeting OEM and Tier 1 buyers rather than long-tail customers. Revenue is generated across professional services (design/engineering), hardware sales (manufactured PCBA and box-build), and managed supply-chain services (procurement, warehousing, traceability, shipping). The competitive position rests on regulatory certifications, decade-long OEM relationships, integrated electromechanical-plastic capabilities, and Spanish/European low-cost-base proximity to VW, Renault, and Mercedes program hubs.
