Impedanca

What Impedanca does

Impedanca družba za trgovino, proizvodnjo in storitve d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company founded in 2004 in Maribor, operating from a single ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified facility at Jadranska cesta 25B. The company designs, prototypes, and manufactures printed circuit boards (single-, double-, and multi-layer; FR4, CEM1, aluminium, Teflon, Rogers) and provides SMD and THT assembly using a Europlacer/Ersa line with Samsung SM481+ pick-and-place machines and Koh-Young Zenith Alpha+ AOI inspection, with stated capacity of 75,000 placed components per hour and 250,000–400,000 components inspected per hour. In-house capabilities include firmware development for microcontrollers (C, Atmel Studio, Eclipse, STM Cube, Keil), self-developed PC-driven automated test devices, and full turnkey services spanning idea analysis, prototyping, production, assembly, testing, packaging with multilingual instructions, certification (e.g., SIQ), and distribution.

The company serves two primary B2B segments: industrial manufacturing companies needing PCB assemblies and electronics product companies requiring complete lifecycle turnkey solutions. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (website inquiry, email, phone) with an exclusive Austrian channel partnership with ITS Industrietechnik GmbH (since 2010). Revenue is generated via custom quote-based pricing under EXW Incoterms 2010, with both pro-forma (advance payment) and open-payment (order-confirmation) terms. The company has expanded beyond pure EMS into smart-city IoT through the PULS Smart Urban Lighting System, developed in consortium with Garex d.o.o. (communications/applications) and Geoenergetika d.o.o. (energy/smart infrastructure), targeting the Irish market under the SPRI project and integrating machine learning for predictive maintenance and intelligent regulation. Cumulative non-dilutive EU/ERDF funding of approximately €760K across 2016–2022 has supported R&D, ISO certification, digital transformation, and a 126 kW solar self-sufficiency installation, while the firm reports 60+ customers and 50+ international projects over 20+ years.

Core offering

Impedanca designs, develops, and manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic assemblies, and custom test devices, delivering complete turnkey solutions from prototype through production, assembly, testing, packaging, certification, and distribution. Its manufacturing operations include SMD and THT assembly with AOI quality control, and embedded firmware development for microcontrollers. Beyond contract manufacturing, the company has developed the PULS Smart Urban Lighting System, which integrates environmental monitoring and a smart city management platform.

Product overview

Impedanca offers a portfolio of five integrated offerings centered on electronic components development, production, and smart city solutions. The core foundation is Printed Circuit Board Development and Production (prototypes and series), supplemented by Full Turnkey Electronics Manufacturing (covering the complete lifecycle from idea to distribution) and in-house Test Device Development. The company also provides Product Upgrades and Redesign Services for legacy electronics. The flagship smart city product is the PULS Smart Urban Lighting System (developed in partnership with Garex d.o.o. and Geoenergetika d.o.o.), which integrates smart lighting with environmental monitoring and a management platform. All offerings can be procured individually or combined within the turnkey solution model.
