Safe-PCB

What Safe-PCB does

Safe-PCB designs and manufactures small and medium-series multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), serving electronics engineers, designers, and electronics manufacturers globally. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Naarden, Netherlands, the company operates a single ultra-modern production facility located within the largest PCB production zone in China, leveraging regional scale economies for prototype and short lead-time runs. Its public-facing product is a self-serve B2B online platform that accepts Gerber files, supports comprehensive configuration of PCB specifications (materials, stackups, layers, vias, surface finishes, solder masks, quality options), generates instant quotes, processes orders, and tracks production status. The multilingual platform is deployed across eight languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese), reflecting a direct-to-customer go-to-market that bypasses traditional PCB distribution channels.

The technical capability set spans standard FR4, CEM3, flex and rigid-flex materials, with multilayer support from 4 to 20 layers at 75µm resolution, controlled impedance, blind/buried vias, HDI technology, and specialty finishes including HAL, NiAu/ENIG, silver, OSP, and carbon. A 3-step quality control regime is applied to 100% of boards: electrical testing for all PCBs, AOI for multilayer boards, and X-RAY inspection for HDI boards. The company emphasizes short lead times for both prototypes and production series as a core commercial differentiator.

Safe-PCB operates a direct e-commerce distribution model, selling exclusively through its website to professional buyers at net prices excluding taxes with quote-based pricing. No revenue, headcount, customer, or funding disclosure is publicly available, no external institutional investment has been identified, and the company's structural relationship with a referenced 'SAFE GROUP' entity is not defined in available materials. The firm is privately held with no subsidiaries, no disclosed M&A, no partnerships, and no certifications or patents identified.

Core offering

Safe-PCB designs and manufactures small to medium series of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for prototyping and production runs. The company offers a self-serve B2B e-commerce platform where customers can upload Gerber files, configure PCB specifications, receive instant quotes, place orders, and track production. Capabilities span FR4, CEM3, flex, rigid-flex, and advanced multilayer boards up to 20 layers with HDI, controlled impedance, blind/buried vias, and specialty finishes.

Product overview

Safe-PCB is a single unified B2B online platform for manufacturing multilayer printed circuit boards. The platform allows customers to upload Gerber files, configure PCB specifications (materials, layers, thickness, copper weight, surface finishes, solder mask colors), receive instant quotes, place orders, and track production status. No separate modules or add-on products are offered.
