What Matas Electronics does

Matas Electronics B.V. is a Dutch electronic manufacturing services (EMS) provider founded in 1984 and headquartered in Best, near Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. The company specializes in high-tech electronics assembly, offering surface-mount technology (SMT) production, selective soldering, automated optical inspection (AOI) for quality control, and component sourcing. It is ranked among the top five EMS/assembly companies in the Netherlands and employs 51-100 people.

The company's central technical differentiator is a proprietary customer extranet platform developed since 2012, combined with API integrations into its supplier network. This system provides customers with real-time visibility into production status, pricing, order tracking, and component availability — a level of data transparency unusual in the EMS sector. The firm has invested continuously in automation and process control aimed at zero-defect manufacturing, with quality management embedded organizationally since 2015.

Matas operates a sales-led, direct enterprise go-to-market targeting industrial electronics manufacturers in the Netherlands and broader Western European market. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing services priced per engagement. Customers include power-distribution equipment manufacturers such as Schleifenbauer. The company is privately held (B.V.) with no external investors identified, and publicly states an ambition to scale into the leading branded EMS partner in the Dutch market.
