What TME does
TME S.R.L. (Test and Manufacturing Engineering) is an Italy-headquartered electronic design and manufacturing services company founded in 2007 by Dr. Aniello Stellato in Portico di Caserta, Campania. The company delivers a vertically integrated stack spanning hardware/firmware/PCB/mechanical/system design, reverse engineering, SMT/THT assembly with conformal coating and electromechanical integration, and a proprietary test-equipment portfolio built around the TESI (22-slot, RFID-fixture functional test platform) and ATEXI (PXI-based modular ATE) product lines, complemented by the X-TDCA web-based test/repair analytics software. TME operates two SMT production lines rated at 42,000 components per hour, with quality gates including SPI, 3D AOI, X-RAY 3D, and BGA rework, and holds ISO 9001:2015, AS/EN 9100 aerospace, and IPC-A-610 personnel certifications.
The business serves enterprise industrial customers across medical, railway, industrial automation, telecommunications, aerospace/defense, and consumer electronics verticals, with disclosed engagements including Trenord, Ericsson, ABB, Ansaldo STS, Indesit, Di Diesse, and Caffè Borbone. Revenue is generated through custom project-based engineering services, hardware sales of proprietary test platforms, and recurring EMS volumes under B2B direct-sales motions, supported by offices in Italy (HQ + legal seat in Naples), Atlanta (US sales/support), and Xiamen (China manufacturing). A parallel R&D track—funded by MIUR and Regione Campania and executed with University of Naples Federico II, CeSMA, RISS, and Consorzio T.R.E.—has produced seismic monitoring products (MOMA stations, SAVE early-warning software, FROG bulletin generator) and projects in BMS electronics (FIB SpA partnership), leukemia diagnostics (Biochip/CNR), and seismic building safety (CADS).

TME competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Jabil: Top-tier global EMS provider. TME explicitly references Jabil (its Marcianise-area workforce absorption project), making Jabil both a benchmark and a structural competitor for mid-complexity EMS contracts in Italy.
- Keysight Technologies: Global electronic test & measurement incumbent offering instruments, software and services across electronics T&M. Operates in the same category as TME's TESI/ATEXI but at vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
- Flex: Global EMS/ODM incumbent serving industrial, automotive and healthcare OEMs. Competes with TME for mid-complexity electronic assembly and design-to-production programs in Europe.
- Teradyne: Large US automated test equipment (ATE) provider serving semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. Comparable to TME as an ATE platform vendor but with semiconductor-test focus and global scale.
Regional players
- Leonardo: Italian aerospace/defense and electronics prime (formerly Selex ES among others). Comparable as a domestic peer for AS/EN 9100-certified Italian electronics manufacturing and a potential customer/partner for TME's aerospace-qualified assembly line.
Direct peers
- National Instruments (NI): US-based leader in modular test & measurement platforms (PXI, LabVIEW, TestStand) — directly comparable to TME's ATEXI PXI-based platform and TESI LabVIEW/TestStand-compatible test architecture.
- Selec (Selec Controls): Indian manufacturer of electronic test & measurement instruments and process-control devices. Comparable to TME as a mid-sized specialist in industrial electronic test/measurement equipment with global distribution.
- TestEquity: US distributor and solutions provider for electronic test equipment, environmental chambers and T&M tools. Comparable to TME's test-equipment solutions business in addressing electronics-manufacturing test buyers.
- Eurotech: Italian-headquartered designer and manufacturer of embedded electronic systems and edge-computing platforms. Comparable to TME as a mid-sized Italian firm offering custom hardware/firmware design and small-series electronic production for industrial/transport customers.
Others
- RINA: Italian certification, testing and engineering services group. Adjacent peer — not a direct EMS competitor but operates in Italian testing/certification and shares TME's enterprise industrial customer base in Italy.
