What hadimec electronics does

Hadimec AG (commercial name: hadimec electronics / hadimec E²MS) is a privately held Swiss full-service Electronic Engineering & Manufacturing Services (E²MS) provider founded in 1987 and headquartered in Mägenwil, Switzerland, with a majority-owned German subsidiary, BRITZE Elektronik und Gerätebau GmbH, in Berlin. The company specializes in High Mix/Low Volume production of electronic assemblies — a deliberate positioning distinct from high-volume EMS competitors — and operates across PCB Assembly (SMD and THT), Boxbuild, Cable Assembly, Connector Assembly (as a long-standing ITT Cannon partner), Engineering & Design, Testing (AOI, FCT, ICT, cross-section analysis), NPI and Speed-Prototyping (with a guaranteed 4-day prototype turnaround), Supply Chain Management, and Lifecycle Management including obsolescence and repair support.

Its production is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485 (medical devices), ISO 14001 (environmental, added 2021), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety, added 2021), and UL standards, and is organized around Lean Production principles at its Swiss facility. Customers are primarily European enterprise OEMs in medical technology, industrial machinery and mechanical engineering, transportation (railway and cruise ships — including Polyscope for cruise cabin control), energy, and telecommunications, alongside technology startups requiring development and industrialization support. The active production base spans 1,350 different products and approximately 320 production orders per month, and the company engages customers through a consultative, enterprise field-sales motion with trade show presence at SINDEX in Bern and direct account management.

Revenue is generated through project-based, customized EMS engagements — covering PCB assembly, boxbuild, cable and connector assembly, engineering services, testing, and lifecycle management — with pricing determined per engagement and not publicly disclosed. The business is family-owned, has no external venture or private equity backing disclosed, and operates without a public listing. The 2017 majority acquisition of BRITZE extended the company from a Swiss-only footprint to a DACH-wide E²MS group with combined 70 years of competency, while recent capability additions (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Speed-Prototyping, Lifecycle Management) reflect steady, compliance- and service-led expansion rather than transformational growth.
