What Beratronic does

Beratronic GmbH is a privately held, family-run German electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider headquartered in Nuremberg, Bavaria. Founded in 2006, the company operates three offices in Nuremberg, Henstedt-Ulzburg, and Shenzhen, and coordinates a network of 20 audited production facilities across Germany, Europe, and Asia. It employs between 251 and 500 people and has held ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since October 2007, supplemented by EIPC membership and access to sector-specific certifications (ISO 13485, IATF 16949, AS9100, NADCAP, ISO 22163) through its manufacturing partners. The managing director is Dipl.-Ing.(FH) Rainer Lutz.

The company's core offering is a full-service bundle of printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, PCB assembly, and CNC metalworking delivered under a single supplier relationship. Its PCB portfolio spans single/double-sided, multilayer, HDI (sub-75 micrometer trace/via), IC substrate, flexible, rigid-flex, IMS (insulated metal substrate), ceramic (up to 220 W/mK thermal conductivity), and high-frequency variants, with maximum board dimensions up to 1510 x 400 mm. Assembly services include SMT, THT, and mixed-technology builds up to 1500 x 390 mm with in-house AOI, ICT, X-ray, and functional testing, plus component procurement through an international partner network. CNC capabilities cover milling, turning, grinding, and drilling at tolerances down to ±0.001 mm. In-house CAM data preparation in Germany is used to surface design risks before production.

Commercially, Beratronic generates revenue through project-based hardware sales and professional services priced via custom quotes, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract structure. It sells direct to B2B customers across aerospace, medical technology, automotive, telecommunications, industrial electronics, energy/renewables, lighting, multimedia, motorsport, consumer electronics, and start-ups/research institutions. GTM is relationship-driven via phone, email, contact forms, and website content, supported by EIPC affiliation and trade fair presence. No funding rounds, M&A, or external investment are disclosed; the company is founder/management-controlled.
