Products and services

• Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards (Multilayer-Leiterplatten) Multilayer PCBs with up to 42 layers, including HDI and HDI-SBU variants, for prototype and small-series production. Intended for electronics developers across automotive, medical, aerospace, industrial automation, defense, and energy applications.
• High-Frequency PCBs (HF-Leiterplatten) High-frequency printed circuit boards designed for signal integrity in RF and microwave applications. Targeted at electronics OEMs developing high-speed or wireless products.
• 1-/2-Sided Printed Circuit Boards (1-/2-seitige Leiterplatten) Single-sided and double-sided PCBs for simpler electronic assemblies and prototypes. Used by developers of cost-sensitive or lower-complexity electronics.
• Heavy Copper PCBs (Dickkupfer-Leiterplatten) PCBs with thickened copper layers for high-current and high-power applications, such as power electronics, converters, and industrial drive systems.
• Impedance-Controlled Multilayer PCBs (Impedanzkontrollierte Multilayer) Multilayer PCBs with controlled impedance characteristics for high-speed digital and signal-integrity-critical designs. Built for developers of high-frequency data, telecom, and computing electronics.
• Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (Flexible Leiterplatten) Flexible PCBs for applications requiring bendable, lightweight, or space-constrained circuit interconnections, used in medical devices, sensors, and consumer/industrial electronics.
• Rigid-Flex Printed Circuit Boards (Starr-Flex-Leiterplatten) Hybrid rigid-flex PCBs combining rigid multilayer sections with flexible sections in a single board, for compact, high-reliability electronics in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
• Metal-Core PCBs (Metall-Kern-Leiterplatten — IMS, MCS, Cu) PCBs with aluminum, copper, or other metal cores (Insulated Metal Substrate variants) for thermal management in LED lighting, power electronics, and high-heat applications.
• Express PCB Prototyping Service (Eildienst / Express-Service) 48-hour express manufacturing service for prototype PCBs, enabling rapid design iteration and shortened development cycles for electronics developers.
• PCB Prototyping Consultation (Prototypen-Beratung) On-site consulting service where Elekonta engineers collaborate with the customer's development team during layout and design, helping optimize manufacturability and quality of prototype PCBs.

Direct peers

• Multi-CB (Multi Circuit Boards): German PCB prototype and small-batch manufacturer based in Germany. Directly comparable as a Europe-based supplier of prototype and small-series PCBs to industrial and electronics customers.
• Beta LAYOUT (PCB-POOL): German PCB prototype service (PCB-POOL) under Beta LAYOUT, offering online quoting and quick-turn prototype PCBs. Direct competitor in the German/European prototype PCB market with a digital-first model.
• Eurocircuits: European PCB prototype and small-series manufacturer headquartered in Hungary/Belgium. Highly comparable as a Europe-based PCB prototype service targeting engineers with online ordering and quick-turn delivery.
• Schweizer Electronic AG: German PCB manufacturer specializing in high-tech, high-reliability PCBs for automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications. Directly comparable as a German-headquartered producer serving similar quality-demanding verticals with multilayer and embedded technology capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• NCAB Group: Swedish-listed PCB sourcing company managing a global supplier network for prototype to volume PCBs. Comparable as a Europe-headquartered PCB intermediary serving similar industrial and automotive customers, though NCAB outsources rather than manufactures.
• Würth Elektronik CBT (Circuit Board Technology): Part of the Würth Group, Würth Elektronik is a major European PCB and electronic components manufacturer. Larger and broader than Elekonta, but directly comparable in PCB fabrication for prototyping and serial production across automotive and industrial customers.
• AT&S (Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik AG): Austrian-headquartered, publicly listed PCB and IC substrate manufacturer with a global footprint. Comparable as a European PCB producer serving automotive, industrial, and high-end electronics customers, though at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• AISLER: European PCB prototype and assembly service with a strong online ordering and instant-quoting platform. Comparable as a quick-turn PCB prototype provider competing for the same engineering customer base.
• PCBWay: China-based PCB prototype, small-batch, and assembly service with global online platform. Comparable as a low-cost, quick-turn prototype PCB competitor putting price pressure on European players like Elekonta.
• JLCPCB: China-based low-cost PCB prototype and assembly service with global online ordering. Comparable as a quick-turn prototype PCB competitor, particularly on price and lead time for low-complexity designs.
