SICAP ELECTRONIC

What SICAP ELECTRONIC does

SICAP Electronic is a French electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company headquartered in Coudeville-sur-Mer, near Granville in Normandy. The firm designs, manufactures, and integrates electronic assemblies and sub-assemblies for demanding reliability environments, with a primary focus on aerospace & defense customers and secondary exposure to industrial electronics. Its technical scope covers multi-layer printed circuit boards up to 18 layers, electronic board assembly, and full system integration, delivered through an integrated engineering bureau that supports co-design with customers.

The company operates within the federation Groupe Prenveille, alongside sister EMS entities that extend the platform into medical (ASICA), railway (CMS Industrie), and complementary industrial electronics (PROMISTEL). SICAP itself holds EN9100 certification for aerospace/defense (10+ years), ISO 9001 certification (20+ years), and trains personnel to IPC-A-610 standards, which together qualify it for low-volume, high-reliability programs. Operations are organized around project-based manufacturing contracts with annual customer satisfaction surveys, and the firm maintains ongoing commercial visibility through recurring trade show participation (Salon du Bourget, Global Industrie).

The business model is a project-based contract EMS with revenue tied to recurring aerospace/defense and industrial programs. Go-to-market relies on long-cycle qualification, certification, and embedded supply-chain positioning rather than transactional volume, with ~70 employees at the SICAP entity level and 240+ across the broader group. The company is family-owned and does not disclose revenue.

Core offering

SICAP ELECTRONIC is an Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) company providing complete end-to-end electronic design and manufacturing services for industrial clients. Their core offering spans the full product lifecycle: electronic design and development, PCB industrialization and routing, prototyping, series manufacturing, product integration with cabling/mechanical assembly, custom test bench development, operational maintenance (MCO) with obsolescence management, and component procurement with logistics. All operations are conducted in-house at their Granville, France facility.

Product overview

SICAP ELECTRONIC is an Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) company offering a comprehensive, integrated suite of electronic design and manufacturing services. The core offering spans the entire product lifecycle: from electronic design services (conception) and PCB routing/industrialization, through prototyping and series manufacturing, to full product integration, test bench development, operational maintenance (MCO), and procurement/logistics management. The company operates as a single unified service offering rather than discrete software products—customers engage SICAP for end-to-end electronic manufacturing services, with each capability (design, prototyping, manufacturing, integration, testing, logistics) representing a distinct service module within their full-spectrum EMS portfolio. All operations are performed in-house at their Granville, France facility, with dedicated assembly lines and quality control systems including AOI inspection and X-ray capabilities.
