Tesi Elettronica

What Tesi Elettronica does

Tesi Elettronica srl is a privately-held Italian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Desenzano del Garda, Italy, with a headcount in the 11-50 range. The company designs and manufactures custom electronic boards, with explicit specialization in two verticals: professional LED lighting (covering theatrical, television, and architectural applications) and industrial automation. Its product portfolio spans power supply units, LED drivers, and wired and wireless control systems, supported by in-house automated SMT production lines, automated optical inspection, and functional testing capabilities.

The company's core technical differentiator is the patented Hi-Q Dimming system, which delivers smooth, high-resolution dimming performance for LED loads. It also holds a certified partnership with OSRAM, embedding it in tier-1 professional lighting OEM supply chains and qualifying its components for demanding entertainment and architectural lighting applications. The company positions its full hardware stack as vertically integrated, from board design through automated assembly and in-house test, rather than acting as a design house or commodity PCB assembler.

Tesi Elettronica operates a direct-sales go-to-market with no disclosed distributor or channel intermediation, selling custom-engineered boards and lighting control systems to OEM and systems integrator customers. There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding, leadership changes, acquisitions, or AI/ML capability, and customer concentration cannot be assessed from the available evidence. The company remains privately held with no recorded external funding rounds.

Products and services

• Progettazione (Custom Electronic Board Design) Custom electronic board design service including hardware and software design, conducted entirely in-house, with complete process from specifications through prototyping, testing, and pre-series or mass production. Includes EMC pre-compliance testing and climate chamber testing (-40°C to +120°C, up to 99% humidity). Targeted at customers needing fully designed and validated electronic boards for industrial automation and lighting applications.
• MAGAZZINI AUTOMATICI (Automated Warehouse Storage) Automatic warehouse storage service for electronic components, including customer-supplied materials, managed by the company's ERP for full traceability from storage to order fulfillment. Available as part of the production offering for customer board projects.
• MONTAGGIO SMD (Surface Mount Device Assembly) Surface mount device assembly service featuring two complete production lines: one for mass production using I-PULSE M10 and M20 pick&place machines, and a second line for small batches or pre-series using a single I-PULSE M20. For customers requiring electronic board assembly.
• AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) Automated visual inspection service using A-Leader technology to verify all assembled components are correct and free from non-conforming solder joints. Performed as part of quality control during board manufacturing.
• COLLAUDO IN CIRCUIT (In-Circuit Testing) In-circuit testing service using SPEA4050 equipment with 4 mobile probes and 2 colorimeters for LED verification, supporting component testing, microprocessor programming, and functional testing. For customers needing validated electronic boards.
• COLLAUDO FUNZIONALE AUTOMATICO (Automatic Functional Testing) Automatic functional testing service for complex boards where cards are programmed, tested, and serialized, with full process tracking through production management software. For customers requiring serialized, fully tested boards.
• CALIBRAZIONE (LED Board Calibration) LED board calibration service ensuring uniformity in light intensity and chromaticity coordinates, both within the same batch and across different batches. Targeted at professional lighting customers needing color-consistent LED boards.
• CONFORMAL COATING Protective coating service using PVA with UV-LED Peters resin for applications in critical environments, including selective coating using a second precision head. For customers needing boards protected from harsh environmental conditions.
