What Global Electronics does

Global Electronics B.V. is a Dutch Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Haaksbergen, Netherlands. The company specializes in Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), offering Surface Mount Technology (SMT) across two fully automated production lines with inline Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), Through Hole Technology (THT), vapor phase and wave soldering, BGA rework, high-voltage PCBA design (exceeding 30 VAC / 60 VDC), conformal coating and potting, and comprehensive test and repair services including flying probe, bed-of-nails, and HIPOT testing. Production capacity exceeds 250,000 PCBAs annually, with 99% first pass yield and 99% delivery reliability.

The company has evolved from a traditional EMS into a full fulfillment partner, adding New Product Introduction (NPI), Bill of Materials (BOM) analysis, supply chain management with an API-connected supplier network, inventory management, lifecycle management, boxbuild/Full Product Assembly, and a dedicated reshoring service for European OEMs. Pricing is quote-driven and project-based, with prototype delivery targeted within 5-15 working days and series production scaling from 1 to 100,000 units. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (assembly, boxbuild) and professional/managed services (NPI, prototyping, supply chain management).

Global Electronics serves more than 150 enterprise customers across at least 12 verticals including aerospace and aviation, medical technology (ISO 13485:2015 certified), measurement and scientific instrumentation (including particle accelerators and zero-flux current sensing), defense, IoT, photonics, transport/automotive (notably EV charging infrastructure), industrial control, data security, telecommunications, construction, and agriculture. Named customers include TKH Airport Solutions, Bronkhorst High-Tech BV, Alfen, Indes B.V., and PM Special Measuring Systems BV. The company operates from a purpose-built, sustainability-focused facility constructed in 2008, holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, UL, RoHS, and IPC certifications, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds.
