What Alflex Technologies does

Alflex Technologies B.V. is a privately held Dutch electronics engineering and manufacturing firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Zoetermeer, Netherlands. The company provides end-to-end custom electronics services spanning concept development, PCB hardware design, embedded software, IoT connectivity integration, in-house SMD production, and post-sale fulfilment. It targets B2B customers across industrial sectors — machine builders, product developers, building managers, and OEMs — delivering bespoke electronic control systems, wireless sensors, and cloud/portal backends. Named customers include Bandall, Koppert Biological Systems, Holland Water, Imbema, Corrosion, Wisa, Dehaco, Dual Inventive, and Hundt Consult, spanning packaging, agriculture, water treatment, gas detection, offshore corrosion protection, sanitary equipment, rail infrastructure, and elevator maintenance.

The technology stack is centered on custom PCB design and embedded firmware with broad wireless connectivity expertise (NB-IoT, LoRa, LTE-M, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, 5G), proprietary low-power battery-powered sensor designs, and customer-specific cloud portals with API data export. Notable technical assets include an in-house SMD production line with AOI, selective soldering, and conformal coating; Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) capability; and Certified Solution Provider status with Trihedral for VTScada SCADA software supporting 100+ industrial protocols. Specialized sub-products include the DGT Smart digital gas leak tester, CRM 3000 NB-IoT rail sensor, Lift Guardian IIoT elevator sensor box, VAC-4 underpressure monitor, ICA copper-silver ionization controller, and ICCP/ICAF corrosion protection electronics.

The business model is custom project-based with no public pricing; quotes are negotiated per engagement and contracts are multi-year. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (custom electronics and production orders) and professional services (fulfilment, assembly, maintenance, repair, and redesign). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no resellers, distributors, or marketplace presence. The company is self-funded with no disclosed external investors, operates two wholly-owned sister brands (Peltierkoeling.nl for thermoelectric cooling and Flexheaters.nl for flexible heating foils), and holds RoHS, REACH, and Conflict-Free Sourcing certifications to support enterprise procurement requirements.
