What EXELSIUS does
EXELSIUS, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Mouans-Sartoux (Alpes-Maritimes, France), designs, manufactures, and globally distributes industrial equipment for printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) production. Its proprietary product portfolio is organized around four process families — soldering (XRC reflow oven), drying and curing (TC infrared, XPC convection, UV-9 UV ARC, UV-9 LED), conformal coating (GENIUS atmospheric plasma surface activation, XPECT coating inspection), and dispensing and preheating (XPHU preheating oven) — together with the S-Line compact complete coating line that reduces floor footprint by up to 50% via a vertical return-path architecture, and customizable modular coating/dispensing lines. Two patents anchor the technology stack: a closed-loop UV regulation system that measures and corrects UV power in real time and compensates for source aging with MES traceability, and the GENIUS atmospheric plasma surface activation system with embedded automatic torch path programming. The NEXUS X HMI provides unified line supervision with anomaly detection and proactive maintenance support.
EXELSIUS positions itself as a process partner rather than a commodity equipment supplier, pairing equipment sales with a full services stack — process audits, in-house test laboratory trials at the French facility, installation and commissioning, preventive and corrective maintenance, and operator training. Pricing is quote-based on configuration and not publicly disclosed. The company does not sell direct: it distributes exclusively through 13+ named channel partners covering France, the rest of Europe, North Africa, the Americas, and Asia, and bundles Nordson ASYMTEK conformal coating, dispensing, and selective soldering products into its complete lines. Target verticals are aerospace, defense and space electronics (primary), automotive electronics (primary), and medical and industrial electronics (secondary); the company reports equipping 250 customers across 35+ countries with 1,000+ cumulative units installed since 1990. Headcount is 11–50 employees and the firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors.
