Cepya Electronics

What Cepya Electronics does

Cepya Electronics, now operating as I-care Electronics, is a Belgium-based (Assesse) custom electronic project specialist and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) manufacturer. The company delivers a vertically integrated service stack spanning feasibility studies and PCB design, prototyping, pre-series builds, mass production, and final system integration and assembly. Its production capabilities cover both through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) assembly, with downstream quality assurance including functional testing, EMC pre-qualification, climatic testing, and protective coating and potting for harsh-environment durability. The company also offers reverse engineering and legacy product reproduction.

The business serves industrial enterprise customers across six vertical sectors — energy, medical, defense and security, aeronautics/aerospace, telecommunications, and general industrial — with a focus on demanding environments that require long-term reliability and precision. Geographically, the company is centered in Belgium with sales activity across Europe, supported by a bilingual (English/French) website and direct, quotation-based engagement.

The revenue model is project-based and contract-driven: one-time fees for development and prototyping work, supplemented by recurring manufacturing revenue tied to production volumes. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no public pricing, tiered plans, or e-commerce channel; prospective customers are routed through a 'Request a quotation' workflow. The company operates as a subsidiary within the I-Care Group portfolio (alongside Mecotec, SDT, and Technical Associates), is privately held with 11-50 employees, and reports no external funding, M&A activity, or disclosed revenue figures.

Core offering

Cepya Electronics (now I-care Electronics) is a Belgian contract electronics manufacturer that designs, prototypes, and produces custom Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA) for industrial clients. The company covers the full product lifecycle — feasibility studies, PCB design, prototyping, pre-series, mass production, system integration, and final assembly — using both through-hole and surface mount device (SMD) technologies, with in-house functional, EMC pre-qualification, and climatic testing.

Product overview

Cepya Electronics (now I-care Electronics) operates as a single unified offering of electronic manufacturing services rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product portfolio consists of four integrated service phases: Development (custom electronic project specification and design), Prototyping (PCB assembly and board refinement), Pre-Series & Mass Production (PCBA manufacturing at scale), and Integration & Final Assembly (complete system integration). These services are designed to guide clients from initial concept through final deployment, with Electronic Development and Electronic Production representing the two main competency areas that underpin all service offerings.
