What Pressfinish Electronics does

PressFinish Electronics GmbH is a German Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider headquartered in Maisach (Gernlinden), near Munich, operating a 2,000 m² EMS Leistungszentrum since its founding in 1986. The company delivers full-service contract manufacturing — from hardware/PCB development and layout through prototyping, SMD/THT assembly, component procurement, cleaning, functional testing, and complete device assembly — to enterprise customers in three vertical segments: medical technology (~50% of revenue, including dialysis, blood centrifuges, and life-sustaining electronics), industrial electronics (including ATEX-certified explosion-protected assemblies), and aerospace/avionics (EASA/LBA-authorized general-aviation radios, transponders, and navigation systems).

Its technical stack comprises three SMD/THT production lines (Siplace, Samsung, Ersa, Rehm, IBL vapor phase) with a stated capacity exceeding 160,000 components per hour and 550,000+ assemblies annually, complemented by Koh Young 3D AOI, 3D X-ray inspection, ERSA VERSAFLOW selective soldering, Schunk CNC depaneling, Riebesam HFE cleaning, and a proprietary end-to-end component traceability system. Certifications include DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, IPC-A-610G, and aerospace UA authorization.

Commercially, PressFinish operates a direct enterprise sales motion with quote-based project pricing, a 5-day express prototyping service (2–15 units) that credits 50% of prototype cost toward qualifying series orders, and an obsolescence-management service used by over 85% of customers. The company is 90%-owned by Stemas AG and operates as part of the Elektronik-Gruppe, a network of six EMS firms with combined revenue of €80 million and 430 employees; standalone PressFinish revenue was approximately €9 million as of mid-2019 with ~35 employees.
