What Rematek does

Rematek is a privately held Canadian manufacturer founded in 1994 in Saint-Laurent (Montreal), Quebec, specializing in electronic test fixtures for the printed circuit board (PCB) and electronics manufacturing industry. The company designs, manufactures, and markets in-circuit test (ICT) fixtures, functional/mechanical test fixtures, automated functional test stations, board stress analysis services, and LED testing solutions. Its technology stack centers on proprietary DrillCAD 2D CAD software (continuously developed since 1994) with integrated Finite Difference Simulation (FDS) for physics-based board stress analysis, co-invented X-Probe high-precision probes with QA Technology (US patented, test points as small as 0.020 inches), the patented iTech Vacuum Box with guided floating pressure plate, and the Fast Frame reconfigurable fixture system. Manufacturing takes place in an 18,500 sq ft plant near Montreal's airport using nearly 100% automated production processes, CNC drilling with 0.007 inch positioning accuracy, and 100% error-free electronic validation of fixture wiring.

The company serves electronics manufacturers globally, with fixtures delivered to Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, China, and other countries across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Customer segments span both SMEs and multinational electronics companies requiring ICT and functional testing compatibility with major tester platforms (Agilent/Keysight, GenRad, Teradyne, HP, Spectrum, Zehntel). The business model is built on one-time hardware sales of custom test fixtures (with a three-month satisfaction warranty and typical five-day manufacturing lead time) complemented by professional services including FEA-based board stress analysis, strain gage testing, and custom functional test station integration. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through a fully bilingual (English/French) sales and customer service team, a global network of strategic partner representatives providing on-site support, and a warehouse facility in Champlain, New York for rapid North American distribution. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001 certifications and is registered under the Canadian Controlled Goods Program (CGRP); CEO Marco Deblois leads the privately held, founder/management-owned operation.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Test Research, Inc. (TRI): Major ATE and fixture supplier headquartered in Taiwan serving global EMS customers including Foxconn, Pegatron and Wistron. Comparable in producing ICT fixtures and board test solutions for high-volume PCBA lines, though TRI also sells its own testers and AOI systems.
• Keysight Technologies: Leading ATE manufacturer (formerly Agilent Test & Measurement). Rematek is a Keysight solutions partner building fixtures that host Keysight/Agilent/HP testers; comparable in ICT ecosystem but at vastly larger scale and vertically into the tester itself.
• TAKAYA Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of flying-probe testers and ICT fixtures used by Asian EMS providers. Comparable fixture business supporting Keysight/Teradyne-compatible testers, but adds its own tester product line as a vertically integrated OEM.
• Teradyne: Large semiconductor and electronics test platform company; Rematek is part of Teradyne's support network building fixtures for Teradyne testers. Comparable end-customer overlap but operates an entirely different scale and scope as an ATE OEM.
• Everett Charles Technologies (Cohu Interface Solutions): Cohu's interface solutions group is the legacy category leader for ICT and functional test fixtures, probes and interface boards. Most directly comparable in product offering (fixtures compatible with Keysight, Teradyne, GenRad testers) but operates at much larger scale as part of a publicly listed semiconductor test equipment company.

Direct peers

• JOT Automation: Finnish manufacturer of functional test equipment and ICT interfaces for global EMS customers. Comparable offerings in custom functional fixtures and automated test stations, with strong European footprint similar to Rematek's North American base.
• CheckSum LLC: U.S.-based specialist manufacturer of in-circuit test fixtures, functional fixtures and ATE interfaces. Closest like-for-like independent peer: similar product lines (ICT, functional, wireless, vacuum), similar customer base (PCB OEMs/EMS), and similar ISO-certified quality model.
• QFINITY Test Solutions: U.S.-based independent designer and builder of ICT and functional test fixtures, PCAs and interface solutions. Closest boutique peer with comparable customer profile (mid-market PCB OEMs needing fast-turnaround wired fixtures).

Emerging players

• Polar Instruments: Specialist in PCB test and design software (Polar Si, Speedstack) plus controlled-impedance test fixtures. Comparable as a niche, technology-led supplier into the PCB test ecosystem though software/characterization weighted vs Rematek's mechanical fixtures.

Others

• QA Technology: Co-inventor partner with Rematek on the X-Probe high-precision probe series. Compares as a probe/component supplier into the same fixture ecosystem rather than a fixture manufacturer, and an indicator of Rematek's underlying probe IP and supply-chain relationships.
