What SECTRONIC does

SECTRONIC is a French Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider founded in 1975 in Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine as Société Electronique du Centre, and currently operating as a subsidiary of Groupe SYNOV (since 2019). The company designs, industrializes, manufactures, and mechanically integrates electronic cards and equipment for enterprise clients in regulated verticals — primarily nuclear (EDF), railway (including TGV/SNCF), medical, defense, energy, security, and industrial manufacturing. Its offering is structured as three end-to-end service lines: conception et gestion de projet (a bureau d'études of 14 engineers and technicians covering analog/digital electronics under Altium, embedded software on Linux/FreeRTOS/Zephyr/MicroEJ, CPLD/FPGA, and mechanical design under SolidWorks/SolidEdge), production (two SMT lines handling 0201/QFN/micro-BGA, rigid-flex multilayer PCB, dual wave soldering, X-ray inspection, AOI, burn-in, and full traceability), and mechanical integration (enclosures, wiring, cabling, custom packaging).

The proprietary product portfolio includes the IPM621 nuclear-qualified K3 instrumentation indicator, BMS battery management systems for lithium-ion/NiMH chemistries, the LISA connected e-ink digital signage platform with multi-radio connectivity, TGV A control cards for train subsystems, static power converters for rail motor units, a touchscreen HMI platform on a 168MHz Cortex-M4, EDF nuclear access-control terminals with biometric and RFID authentication, medical water-purification control cards, and cordless power-tool electronics with motor control and sensor acquisition. Differentiating certifications include RCC-E nuclear qualification with K3 rating, EN 50155 railway compliance (AFAQ/AQF2 by SNCF since 1994), ISO 9001, UL, and IPC. Revenue mechanics are project-based EMS contracts with bespoke quoting for small-to-medium series, multi-year programs, no public pricing, and direct enterprise sales led by the Directeur général and Directeur Technique with no third-party distribution channels. All design, production, and integration activities are conducted in France across two sites (Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine production, Saint-Avertin engineering).
