What Pantur does

Pantur is a privately-held Spanish precision manufacturing services company founded around 1990 and headquartered in Sabadell (Barcelona), with a secondary facility in Feytiat (Limoges), France. It operates three interconnected lines of business: (1) SMD stencil fabrication for surface-mount electronics assembly, including self-tensioning, rigid-frame, XXL, TetraBond, and multilevel variants, plus associated accessories and rework stencils; (2) precision metal parts manufacturing via photo-etching (chemical etching), micro laser cutting, and forming, with tolerances down to +/- 0.1mm and laser axial precision of +/- 2 micrometers; and (3) 3D additive manufacturing services spanning SLA, SLS, FDM, HP Multi Jet Fusion, vacuum casting, and RIM, delivered as rapid prototypes, manufacturing tooling/fixtures, and short-run end-use parts. Surface finishing — electropolishing, Pantur NanoCoating (a sub-2-micrometer ceramic nanoparticle anti-adhesive coating introduced in 2010), and vibratory polishing — is offered both as standalone service and integrated with parts.

The company sells exclusively to B2B industrial customers under a quote-based model with no public price list, using direct sales engagement between its commercial/technical team and the buyer. Target segments include electronics manufacturing (primary), aerospace, automotive (including a Cupra collaboration via partner Composites ATE), medical devices, general industrial manufacturing, drones/UAVs, and architecture. Go-to-market relies on the company website, monthly email newsletters, technical blog content, and trade-show participation (e.g., MetalMadrid, joint HP/Sicnova Open Houses). Pantur employs 11-50 staff, holds ISO 9001:2008 certification, and maintains strategic technology partnerships with HP (Multi Jet Fusion 4200), Reinforce3D (CFIP fiber-injection printing), and Composites ATE (automotive parts), with Sicnova as a channel partner. No revenue, funding history, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in available sources.

Core offering

Pantur is a Spanish precision manufacturer producing high-precision SMD stencils (self-tensioning, rigid frame, XXL, TetraBond, multilevel, and rework variants) for surface-mount device assembly. It also manufactures custom precision metal parts via photo-etching, micro laser cutting, forming, and surface finishing for aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and industrial clients. The third core line is 3D additive manufacturing services (SLA, SLS, FDM, HP Multi Jet Fusion, vacuum casting, RIM) for rapid prototypes, manufacturing tools, and short-run end parts.

Product overview

Pantur is a specialized manufacturer offering three interconnected core product lines: SMD Stencils (high-precision tools for surface mount device assembly including self-tensioning, rigid frame, XXL, TetraBond, and multilevel variants), Precision Parts (manufacturing services using micro laser cutting, chemical etching, forming, and surface finishing technologies for aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, lighting, and modeling sectors), and 3D Additive Manufacturing (utilizing SLA, SLS, FDM, HP Multi Jet Fusion, and vacuum casting technologies for rapid prototypes, manufacturing tools, and end-use parts). Surface finishing capabilities include electropolishing, NanoCoating, and vibration polishing. The company serves industrial clients requiring precision components with tolerances as tight as +/-0.1mm for precision parts and offers advanced 3D printing with build volumes up to 1500x750x550mm.
