FTA

What FTA does

FTA d.o.o. is a Slovenian electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company headquartered in Leskovec, founded in 2003 and operating with 51-100 employees. Its core offering centers on PCB assembly and related electronic manufacturing solutions, positioning it as a mid-sized European contract manufacturer serving customers requiring electronics production capabilities.

In 2023, the business was integrated into TQ Group as TQ-Systems Slovenija d.o.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary that brought over 20 years of electronics production experience into TQ's four-country manufacturing network (Germany, Slovenia, China, USA). Through this integration, FTA's PCB assembly capability is now situated within TQ's broader Electronic Engineering Manufacturing Services (E2MS) platform, which spans electronics development, manufacturing, validation, supply chain management, and mechanics, alongside proprietary product lines in embedded modules, e-mobility motors (HPR40/50/60/120S), robotic drives, aviation electronics, automation, and medical devices.

The business model is built on EMS hardware sales for series production, professional services revenue from E2MS development work, and group-level distribution channels reaching industrial manufacturing, embedded systems, e-mobility, robotics, aviation, medical technology, and energy/automation verticals. Customer concentration and pricing are not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held with no reported funding rounds or institutional ownership signals in the available data.
