What Topro Elektronikk does

Topro Elektronikk AS is a Norwegian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider headquartered in Gjøvik, Eastern Norway. Founded in 1964 originally as Totenprodukter under a regional rehabilitation mandate, the company has operated continuously for over 60 years and today positions itself as one of Norway's established contract manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical assemblies. The company serves industrial customers across non-destructive testing, defense, space/satellite, and connected consumer product verticals, offering a fully integrated value chain from consulting and product development through prototyping, industrialization (NPI), series production, testing, procurement, warehousing, and distribution.

The technical backbone centers on a modern ASM SMT assembly line capable of mounting components from 200x110mm down to 0.4x0.2mm (01005), complemented by two automated optical inspection systems, an ERSA selective soldering machine, and LabVIEW-based automated test development. Electromechanical assembly is delivered by IPC class 3 certified solderers with BGA rework, lacquering, and potting capabilities for ATEX-, moisture-, and vibration-resistant products. Supply chain operations run on a Kardex-automated warehouse holding approximately 8,000 articles (with unit quantities ranging from 2-3 to 250,000 per SKU), integrated with the company's ERP and supported by global sourcing across Asia, Europe, and the USA. The firm is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.

Topro operates a B2B contract manufacturing model with custom project-based pricing rather than published rates, generating revenue through one-time EMS contracts, professional services for design and test consulting, and managed supply chain and logistics services. Go-to-market is primarily direct sales supplemented by channel leverage through the TotAl-gruppen industrial network (45 companies, 3,000+ employees, 6.3 billion NOK combined revenue) and the Total Defence Group (22 Innlandet companies). The company is a private limited company (organization number 919501707), privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding history, and is subject to Norway's Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) effective July 1, 2022.
