Baselectron

What Baselectron does

Baselectron s.r.l. is an Italian specialty printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer founded in 1977 and headquartered in San Martino Siccomario, near Pavia. The company operates from a 1,300 square-meter facility with approximately twenty employees and produces roughly 2,000 new PCB designs per year, focused on rapid prototyping, urgent sampling, and small-to-medium series production rather than high-volume commodity PCBs.

The product portfolio spans single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer PCBs up to 24 layers (with controlled-impedance variants up to 30 layers), flexible and rigid-flex circuits in polyimide/Kapton and FR4, high-power and LED-lighting PCBs with thermal-management substrates (IMS, Bergquist HT/HPL series, CEM3 Thermal, LEVELCORE with K>300), RF and microwave PCBs in PTFE and ceramic materials, planar transformers, and proprietary Polymeric Thick Film (PTF) circuits for embedded EMC shielding. The technical platform relies on in-house drilling machines, CAM stations, and a metallographic/chemical analysis laboratory, with advanced capabilities including 180,000 RPM micro-drilling and X-ray verification for blind and buried vias. Specialty build capabilities include circuits exceeding 2 meters in length, 10 mm thickness, and 600-micron copper tracks.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time-purchase quotes based on Gerber files and specifications, with no disclosed subscription or licensing model. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (with a dedicated technical manager, Andrea Gatti, and a sales team of Marco Isabella and Federica Da Re) with a transactional online channel via the wholly-owned PCB4U platform for low-cost sampling across Italy. Mass production volumes are routed through a jointly-controlled Hong Kong partner, BHK, enabling cost-effective 1- to 20-layer production without additional tooling costs. Customer segments include European electronics manufacturers, R&D labs, the lighting industry, power-electronics OEMs, RF/microwave system builders, and prestigious research institutions such as CERN, INFN, INFM, and Italian universities, with certifications including ISO 9001:2015, UL, and TUV. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment.
