electronic concept GmbH

What electronic concept GmbH does

electronic concept GmbH is a Germany-based Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider headquartered in Gaggenau, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1995 as a two-person operation and grown into a mid-sized specialist with over 50 qualified employees. The company delivers full-scope electronic manufacturing from a single site, covering development support, material procurement and supply-chain management, prototyping, series production, SMD and THT PCB assembly, cable assembly, coating/potting, laser processing, electrical testing, rework, and end-device assembly. Manufacturing is performed to IPC 610 quality criteria using modern equipment including AOI inspection systems and X-ray component counters.

The business model is B2B professional-services revenue earned on a quote-based, project- and series-production pricing basis. Customers are enterprise electronics-industry firms in the DACH region, acquired through direct enterprise field sales and a long-term partnership orientation. The company also sells a small proprietary hardware accessory, the Agilis Feeder Box (an ESD storage solution for Mycronic Agilis Feeders). Quality credentials include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices), with TUV AUSTRIA and TUVG audit continuity. Operating geographies remain regional (DACH), supported by company website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram channels plus selective industry trade show participation.

In 2025, electronic concept became part of the newly formed elbe gruppe following its acquisition by elbe ec Holding GmbH of Ettlingen, with economic effect from January 1, 2025 and operational transition on August 1, 2025. Under the elbe gruppe umbrella, the company is grouped with elbe electronic GmbH to offer an expanded service and technology portfolio and to capture synergies in development, manufacturing, and project implementation. Managing Directors Gisbert Sanger and Knut Mehnert remain in place post-acquisition.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Scanfil: Finnish-listed global EMS provider delivering PCB assembly, sub-assembly, and full device manufacturing; competes in the same industrial/medical electronics outsourcing space as electronic concept but with significantly broader geographic reach.
• Zollner Elektronik: One of the largest European EMS providers headquartered in Bavaria, Germany; offers full-service electronic manufacturing including development, SMD/THT assembly, testing, and device assembly — directly comparable service portfolio to electronic concept but at vastly greater scale.
• KATEK Group: Leading German/European EMS group providing development, prototyping, series production, SMD/THT assembly, and after-sales service across electronics; competes for the same DACH mid-market and industrial customer base as electronic concept.
• Cicor Technologies: Swiss-headquartered EMS provider with operations across Europe; offers PCB assembly, box-building, and testing services to industrial, medical, and aerospace customers — comparable service mix and similar end-market exposure.
• BMK Group: German EMS specialist offering full-range electronic manufacturing services from development through device assembly; comparable one-stop-shop model and mid-/industrial customer focus overlapping with electronic concept's value proposition.

Regional players

• Hanza Holding: Swedish EMS provider offering electronics and mechanics manufacturing including PCB assembly, box-build, and testing; comparable mid-market EMS service model though primarily serving Nordic/Baltic geographies rather than DACH.

Direct peers

• elbe electronic GmbH: Sister company of electronic concept GmbH under the elbe gruppe umbrella since 2025; provides overlapping EMS/electronic development and manufacturing services in the same DACH market — the most directly comparable entity given their merger.

Emerging players

• ATECS (Aurelius Electronics): German mid-market EMS provider focused on electronic assemblies and device production for industrial customers; comparable service scope and scale band to electronic concept within the same regional DACH market.
• Heicks Industrieelektronik: German mid-sized EMS provider offering PCB assembly, device manufacturing, and testing services; comparable size band and full-service EMS positioning to electronic concept within the German mid-market.

Others

• Note: this slot is for completeness — limited additional direct comparables at this scale: Note: at ~50 employees, electronic concept sits in a sparse peer band; the broader EMS competitive landscape (e.g., large global players such as Foxconn, Jabil, Flex) is included implicitly as broad incumbents above rather than as direct comparables given the significant scale and business-model differences.
