What Eurocircuits does

Eurocircuits is a European specialist in the fabrication and assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs and PCBA) for prototyping and small-batch production, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Kettenhausen, Germany, with 251-500 employees and its own manufacturing facilities in Germany and Hungary. The company operates a digital-first manufacturing platform accessed through be.eurocircuits.com, where engineers upload design files (KiCAD, EAGLE, Gerber, ODB++), receive instant online pricing, and run automated design-for-manufacturing (DRC/DFM) checks via the Visualizer/PCB Configurator before placing an order. Its product portfolio covers three PCB service tiers (PCB Proto for 2-4 layer prototypes in 3 working days, STANDARD-Pool for up to 16 layers in 5 working days, and HDI-Pool for microvia designs up to 8 layers in 12 working days), complemented by full SMT and DIP assembly, testing, and MES-based traceability, all backed by a database of over 400,000 verified components with a pre-order availability service.

Eurocircuits generates revenue through transactional unit pricing on each PCB or assembled order, billed pay-as-you-go with no disclosed enterprise contracts or subscription tiers. The go-to-market model is product-led growth: customers self-serve through the online configurator without sales intervention, supported by multilingual customer service in German, English, and Hungarian, technical knowledge bases, blogs, events, and a dedicated educational track for students and teachers. Target segments are horizontal and primarily include design engineers and R&D teams, small-to-medium electronics companies requiring prototypes and small production runs, and educational users; all segments are served through a single digital storefront rather than differentiated sales channels.

In January 2026, Eurocircuits announced a strategic partnership with Avedon Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, intended to accelerate the company's next phase of expansion by strengthening market position, scaling digital and AI capabilities, and investing in platforms, people, and manufacturing, with the transaction expected to close by Q2 2026 and founders and management remaining involved. Compliance with European environmental, conflict minerals, and employment directives is positioned as a core differentiator against Asian PCB suppliers.

Core offering

Eurocircuits manufactures and assembles printed circuit boards (PCBs and PCBA) for prototypes and small series production. Customers upload design files (KiCAD, EAGLE, Gerber, ODB++) via an online Visualizer and configurator, receive instant pricing, automated DRC/DFM data verification and digital-twin manufacturing checks, and order through a self-serve European production network spanning factories in Hungary and Germany with lead times from 1 to 25 working days.

Product overview

Eurocircuits is a European specialist in PCB and PCBA prototyping and small-volume production, operating its own manufacturing facilities in Hungary and Germany. The company offers a unified digital manufacturing platform providing instant online pricing, real-time data validation, drag-and-drop file upload, online order tracking, and verified component database with over 400,000 parts. The product portfolio includes three PCB manufacturing services (PCB Proto for quick 2-4 layer prototypes, STANDARD-Pool for up to 16-layer standard production, and HDI-Pool for microvia/HDI boards), complemented by full PCB assembly (PCBA) services including SMT and DIP assembly, testing, and MES-based traceability. All services feature digital twin verification and are manufactured in Europe adhering to European environmental and conflict mineral directives.

Products and services

• PCB Proto Quick PCB prototyping service for design engineers and small electronics companies, offering standard delivery in 3 working days for bare boards or 6 working days for assembled boards. Supports 2 or 4 layer boards with lead-free finish included.
• STANDARD-Pool Standard PCB manufacturing service covering the majority of standard PCB production requirements, supporting up to 16 layers with 100µm trace/spacing bundle and 90µm non-bundle. Standard delivery is 5 working days for bare boards or 10 working days for assembled boards.
• HDI-Pool High density interconnect (HDI) PCB manufacturing service enabling designers to integrate 100µm microvias for fine-pitch components, with up to 8 layers and pooling cost advantages. Standard delivery is 12 working days for bare boards or 17 working days for assembled boards.
• PCB-Montage (PCBA) PCB assembly service for prototypes and small-batch production covering SMT and DIP mounting, testing, and MES-based traceability, with component sourcing available through the verified component database. Assembly lead times range from 6 to 17 working days depending on the underlying PCB service tier.

Direct peers

• MacroFab: US-based cloud platform for PCB assembly and prototyping with online quoting and factory network. Directly comparable on digital PCB/PCBA self-serve model and engineer customer.
• PCBWay: China-headquartered PCB prototype and small-batch manufacturer with online configurator, SMT assembly, and component sourcing. Directly comparable on product, lead times, and customer profile (engineers, hobbyists, SMB).
• ALLPCB: Asian PCB manufacturer providing prototype-to-volume fabrication and assembly with online quotation. Comparable on digital ordering workflow and tiered lead times.
• JLCPCB: Shenzhen-based online PCB fabrication and assembly platform offering instant online quoting, pooling, and small-batch production globally. Most direct competitor on self-serve digital model and prototype lead times.
• Sierra Circuits: US PCB prototype and small-volume manufacturer offering quick-turn fabrication and assembly. Comparable on prototype lead times and engineering-customer focus, though delivery via traditional sales rather than full PLG.
• Seeed Studio (PCB Service / Fusion): Shenzhen-based hardware platform offering PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, and component sourcing with online instant-quoting. Overlaps on prototype-and-small-batch positioning and maker/engineer customer base.
• Aisler: Eindhoven-based European PCB and PCBA prototype service with online instant quoting. Closest European regional competitor; differs on manufacturing footprint but directly overlaps on target market and value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Advanced Circuits: Established US PCB manufacturer (now part of Multilayer Technology) serving prototype through mid-volume production with online quoting. Broader incumbent offering overlapping capabilities in prototypes and small series.

Regional players

• Bay Area Circuits: US quick-turn PCB prototype manufacturer serving North American customers. Operates in similar prototype niche but in a different geography, making it a regional rather than direct competitor to Eurocircuits.

Emerging players

• WellPCB: China-based PCB fabrication and assembly supplier offering online ordering for prototypes and small batches. Earlier-stage entrant compared to JLCPCB/PCBWay but with overlapping product offering and digital ordering model.
