What ASICA does

ASICA is a French industrial electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider headquartered in Saint-Malo, France, operating as a core brand of Groupe Prenveille alongside SICAP, PROMISTEL, and CMS Industrie. The company specializes in the design, prototyping, industrial series manufacturing, and integration of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) for B2B clients in regulated and mission-critical sectors including aerospace, defense, medical devices, railway, industrial equipment, and telecommunications. Its service portfolio spans the full PCBA lifecycle: electronic card design, industrialization and routing, prototype/mockup development, mass production, product integration, test bench development, ongoing MCO (maintenance in operational condition), and component sourcing/logistics.

Technical capabilities are anchored by surface mount technology (SMT), automated manufacturing, and rigorous testing processes, supported by IPC-A-610 certification across all three classes (including Class 3 for critical aerospace, defense, medical, and railway applications), plus ISO 13485 (medical devices), ISO 9001 (quality management), and UL certifications. In 2024, ASICA acquired what is described as France's first SPI (Solder Paste Inspection) equipment configuration of its kind, partially financed by the French government's Plan France Relance. The business operates on a quote-based pricing model with multi-year contracts, reaching customers through direct sales engagement, website inquiries, and industry event participation including Global Industrie and Médi'Nov Connection.

ASICA is one of four operating entities within Groupe Prenveille, a privately-held Société par actions simplifiée (SAS) with capital of €939,424.32, employing approximately 220 collaborators across sites in Saint-Malo, Granville, Lyon, and Fontainebleau under the direction of Pascal Prenveille. No external institutional or private equity investors are evidenced in source materials, and no revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are publicly disclosed.
