Hi-Rel Tech

What Hi-Rel Tech does

Hi-Rel Tech Pvt Ltd is an India-based electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company specializing in high-reliability printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) for mission-critical applications. The company operates a 20,000 sq ft Class 10,000 grade manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, supported by a corporate office in Bangalore. Founded in 1998, Hi-Rel Tech serves customers in defense, aerospace, medical devices, industrial automation, and — more recently — automotive electronics, focusing on low-to-mid volume, high-mix, high-complexity assembly work where certification pedigree is a procurement gate.

The company's core offering spans turnkey PCBA services including surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole assembly, box build, cable and harness assembly, and functional testing. Hi-Rel Tech holds a layered certification stack — AS9100 (aerospace), IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO 13485 (medical devices), ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), and ZED Bronze — qualifying it to bid into highly regulated OEM vendor lists. The company has additionally developed a proprietary medical product, the VENT 01 automated resuscitator, a microcontroller-based emergency ventilation device, marking its first move beyond pure contract manufacturing into owned IP.

Hi-Rel Tech's revenue model is a hybrid of contract manufacturing fees (driven by build volumes, complexity, and certification premiums) and, prospectively, sales of its proprietary medical device. The customer base comprises Indian public-sector defense companies, international aerospace and medical OEMs, and — newly enabled by IATF 16949 — automotive electronics buyers. With 51-100 employees, the company operates as a mid-sized specialist EMS provider whose competitive position rests on regulatory qualifications, process engineering experience, and qualified-vendor-list incumbency rather than scale or AI differentiation.
