EMKO IPC

What EMKO IPC does

EMKO IPC s.r.o. is a privately held Czech manufacturer and distributor of industrial PCs and components, headquartered in Brno-Slatina with a reported 1-10 employees. The company sits within a vertically integrated group: its parent EMKO Case operates the in-house sheet metal processing facility (laser cutting, bending, welding, powder coating, galvanic zinc plating, aluminum anodizing), and EMKO IPC leverages this to offer a complete design-to-delivery custom IPC service covering chassis development (SolidWorks), CNC machining, assembly with ESD protection, burn-in testing, and final shipment. The product portfolio spans fanless industrial PCs, panel PCs, 19" rack-mountable PCs, digital signage systems, and a comprehensive range of industrial-grade components including motherboards (NameCard, pico-ITX, NUC, EPIC, 3.5", mini-STX, Thin Mini-ITX, mini-ITX, microATX, ATX, server form factors from suppliers such as Kontron), industrial SSDs, memory cards, RAM modules (DDR3L/DDR4/DDR5), graphics cards, power supplies (50W-700W from FSP Group), and LCD panels.

The business model is direct B2B with quote-based pricing on every SKU; no products carry public list prices and no retail or e-commerce channels are used. Distribution flows through dedicated technical account managers (e.g., Jakub Suchánek) who pair inside-sales engagement with on-site engineering consultation. The go-to-market is a mix of enterprise field sales and event-driven marketing, with consistent attendance at European industrial computing and automation trade shows (embedded world, ICE, ISE, Rail Business Days, MSV, electronica) and a multi-language website (Czech, English, Polish, Hungarian). Revenue streams are anchored in (i) hardware sales of components and preconfigured systems, (ii) custom/bespoke IPC solutions ranging from single prototypes to serial runs of hundreds of units annually, and (iii) engineering and consulting services for product selection, integration, assembly, testing, installation, and training. Customer segments are horizontally distributed across industrial automation (primary), healthcare, gaming/casino, museums and cultural heritage, rail/transportation, and digital signage/AV. Named customers include Dětská nemocnice Fakultní nemocnice Brno (AI-powered Florence patient-navigation kiosk), Moravské zemské muzeum (Karel Absolon AI avatar exhibit), and Kajot (casino gaming terminal modernization).
