What HSP does

HSP Barschat & Krönert GmbH is a German B2B electronics manufacturing service provider (EMS) headquartered in Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz, founded in 1990 and operating for over 30 years. The company offers an integrated stack of services including custom hardware development (microcontroller-based circuit design from 8-bit to 32-bit, FPGA-based designs, multilayer PCB layout with simulation and verification), embedded software development (C, VHDL for FPGA, PC applications), and electronics manufacturing from prototype through series production of up to 10,000 units per year, including SMD, THT, mixed assembly with selective soldering, and electrical/optical testing. It also sells a small portfolio of proprietary products: the NTG-3000 three-phase measurement data acquisition system and the USB-GT/USB-GT-MED galvanic isolation units for USB interfaces, the latter in a medical-grade variant.

HSP serves enterprise customers across eight vertical markets: medical technology, industrial applications, laser technology, automation, energy & environmental technology, mechanical engineering, control & regulation technology, and aerospace & defense. Its customer base is concentrated in the Erlangen-Nürnberg metropolregion and southern Germany, with the company relying on direct B2B sales engagement and quote-based project pricing. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, follows a zero-defect production policy with IPC 610 inspections, and provides CE conformity support to clients.

In September 2024, Stemas AG acquired all shares of HSP from its founders as part of succession planning, making HSP the sixth EMS company within the Stemas 'Elektronik-Gruppe' umbrella, alongside ELPROG, EPS, EKER Systemtechnik, and PressFinish. Day-to-day management is led by Geschäftsführer Peter Bauer. The company does not disclose revenue or headcount and has no public listing.

Core offering

HSP Barschat & Krönert GmbH is a German B2B service provider that designs customer-specific electronic hardware (microcontroller- and FPGA-based circuits with multilayer PCB layouts), develops the corresponding embedded software (C, VHDL) and PC applications, and manufactures the resulting electronic assemblies and complete units in-house. Production ranges from prototypes and small series to series runs of up to 10,000 units per year. In parallel, HSP sells standardized proprietary products such as the NTG-3000 measurement data acquisition system and the USB-GT / USB-GT-MED galvanic isolation units.

Product overview

HSP Barschat & Krönert GmbH offers a portfolio of proprietary electronic measurement and interface products. The core products are the NTG-3000 data acquisition system for industrial measurement applications and the USB-GT/USB-GT-MED galvanic isolation units for USB interfaces. Additionally, the company provides hardware and software development services including microcontroller/FPGA-based circuit design, VHDL development, and PC applications for embedded systems, as well as electronics manufacturing services covering prototyping through series production with electrical and optical testing.

Expansion highlights8 records

Broad incumbents

• Kontron: European provider of embedded computing, design and manufacturing services for industrial, medical, and transportation customers. Mirrors HSP's combination of custom hardware/embedded design plus manufacturing, but at considerably larger scale.
• Katek Group: Publicly listed European EMS group (Steady-Print/Munich) serving renewable energy, e-mobility, industrial, and medical markets. Comparable business model but operates across multiple sites and countries at much larger scale than HSP.
• Cicor Technologies: Swiss-headquartered EMS and printed circuit board manufacturer with German operations, serving medical, industrial, and aerospace customers. Overlapping capability set and customer verticals but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Zollner Elektronik: One of Europe's largest family-owned EMS providers, offering end-to-end electronics services across industrial, automotive, medical, and aerospace. Operates in the same core EMS category as HSP but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• BMK Group: German mid-sized EMS provider offering electronics development, manufacturing, and lifecycle services across industrial, medical, and automotive customers. Closely comparable as a privately held German design-and-manufacturing EMS shop.
• PressFinish: Sister company under Stemas AG's Elektronik-Gruppe, an EMS provider in Germering focused on medical technology, industrial electronics with ATEX-certified production, and aerospace/avionics — a vertical mix closely overlapping HSP's regulated-industry focus.
• EPS (Elektronik-Produktions-Service): Sister company under Stemas AG's Elektronik-Gruppe, an EMS provider based in Siegen serving traffic technology, automotive, and other industrial customers. Highly comparable size, scope, and operating model.
• EKER Systemtechnik: Sister company under Stemas AG's Elektronik-Gruppe, located in the same town as HSP (Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz), offering prototype-to-volume electronics manufacturing. Operates an essentially identical business model and customer base.
• ELPROG: Sister company under Stemas AG's Elektronik-Gruppe, also a German EMS provider offering the full electronics manufacturing value chain from a Benediktbeuern facility. Directly comparable business model, customer mix, and group-level positioning to HSP.

Emerging players

• Janitza Electronics: German mid-market manufacturer of power quality, energy measurement, and grid monitoring instruments. Directly comparable to HSP's NTG-3000 three-phase measurement platform and shares the same southern-Germany industrial customer base.
