What A+B Electronic does

A+B Electronic (legal entity Assmy & Böttger Electronic GmbH) is a German Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider headquartered in Huntlosen, Lower Saxony, operating as a subsidiary of OWG Beteiligungs AG. Founded in 1970 (operational since approximately 1974), the company runs an integrated suite of contract manufacturing services spanning electronics development support, SMT/SMD and THT PCB assembly, conformal coating, complete unit/device assembly, control cabinet construction, in-house testing (AOI, ICT, FCT, X-ray, boundary scan), quality assurance to IPC-A-610 standards (Class 2 default, Class 3 available), logistics, and after-sales support. Its main production facility covers approximately 3,000 m² including a dedicated 500 m² control-cabinet hall, staffed by 130 employees (2025) producing 523,000 assemblies and installing 64 million components annually across 727 customer projects.

The company serves four primary verticals: defense and military technology (requiring ISO 9001, ISO 13485, EN9100, and AQAP 2110 compliance and full traceability), medical electronics (Class 3 IPC assemblies for zero-failure applications), broad industrial electronics, and IoT/smart metering. Notable customers include solvimus GmbH, with whom A+B Electronic has maintained a nine-year manufacturing partnership. The company holds UL, DEKRA, and Apple MFi certifications alongside its ISO and IPC qualifications, and has deployed a proprietary AI-based self-learning inspection system on its THT line through a co-development partnership with SNAP GmbH.

A+B Electronic generates revenue through quote-based B2B contract manufacturing engagements, with invoices payable net cash immediately for production orders and within 30 days for non-manufacturing invoices. The go-to-market model is sales-led, combining regional field sales representatives covering distinct German postal code areas, inside sales via phone/email, and a website-based inquiry system with secure file upload; marketing is supported by Google Ads, Leadinfo B2B lead enrichment, and a content marketing programme (technical magazine, DFM guide, newsletter). Geographically, the company operates a single production facility in Germany and serves European customers, with no disclosed international footprint beyond EU markets.
