What micronex does

micronex GmbH is a German Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider headquartered in Springe/Eldagsen near Hannover, founded in 1979 as Treichel Elektronik GmbH and rebranded in 2013. The company delivers full-lifecycle electronics manufacturing — industrialization and redesign consulting, SMT and THT PCB assembly, selective soldering, conformal coating and potting, cable and harness confectioning, device building, and after-sales repair and maintenance — for industrial customers operating in demanding environments. Production runs on a 4,000+ m² ESD-compliant site equipped with ERSA, ASM SIPLACE, GÖPEL, VISCOM, and JUKI lines, supplemented by inline AOI, X-ray inspection, inline ICT, and Unique-ID-based full traceability across SMD storage units and raw PCBs. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, IATF 16949:2015, and IPC-A-610 certifications, and is a registered supplier (SSR) for Baker Hughes.

The customer base spans 40+ named accounts and approximately 2,000 active products across eight verticals: automotive, industrial electronics, marine, smart meter, railway technology, energy, telecommunications, and medical technology. The company is sales-led and direct: customers engage sales representatives for custom project quotations, with pricing tailored to component specifications, volumes, and complexity under multi-year contracts. Just-In-Time (JIT) production cells with reserved floor space and direct delivery via the company's own vehicles enable responsive manufacturing for medium and small series.

micronex has scaled through three historic carve-out acquisitions — Knorr Bremse Elektronikfertigung (2001), Mannesmann Rexroth Elektronikfertigung (2002), and Baker Hughes Elektronikfertigung (2003) — that seeded its railway, industrial hydraulics, and energy verticals. In 2026 it joined the Netvert-Verbund, a German network of companies combining for €100 million in revenue and 600 employees. Leadership is led by Managing Director Torsten Bethke, with Markus Polzin heading Purchasing, Lucas Trutwin heading Commercial Operations, and Henning Steinhagen responsible for Supply Chain Management. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, and revenue is not publicly reported.

Revenue model

1. EMS Manufacturing Services: Core revenue derived from Electronic Manufacturing Services including PCB assembly (SMT/THT), device building, cable confectioning, coating, encapsulation, and repair/maintenance services. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts with industrial customers across the product lifecycle — from industrialization and prototyping through series production to after-sales service.
2. Industrialization / Redesign Services: Consulting and engineering services for product industrialization, redesign, and supply chain optimization, billed as part of EMS engagement or as standalone service.
3. Repair and Maintenance Services: Lifecycle support services including planned maintenance (hardware/software upgrades) and repair of unplanned failures with detailed root cause analysis.
