Tremol SMD Ltd.

What Tremol SMD Ltd. does

Tremol SMD Ltd. is a Bulgaria-based Contract Electronic Manufacturer (CEM) specializing in high-tech assembly of electronic components for demanding industry verticals including automotive, industrial, medical, aviation, and consumer electronics. Founded in March 2006 in Veliko Tarnovo, the company operates as part of Tremol Group Bulgaria (which collectively employs over 400 people) and maintains a workforce of 250+ qualified specialists with internal IPC certified trainers. Manufacturing is conducted from a single headquarters facility in the Salamatya Area of Veliko Tarnovo.

The company's manufacturing platform integrates SMT assembly (using Samsung and Hanwha Techwin pick-and-place machines, DEK stencil printers, and Vitronics reflow technology with vacuum-sealed reflow), THT assembly (Ersa selective soldering and Vitronics wave soldering), automated optical inspection (Orbotech VT S22 and Koh Young Zenith 3D AOI), Flying Probe ICT (Takaya APT820S), wave soldering (Delta Wave 6622 CC lead-free and Kirsten Modula lead-based, up to 72 frames/hour with nitrogen atmosphere), and Nordson ASYMTEK Select Coat SL-940 conformal coating, with supporting functional testing, X-Ray inspection, and tampon printing. Lines operate at IPC speeds exceeding 1,000,000 components per hour, with placement capability down to 0201 components and 0.35 mm pitch. Quality systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015 (Bureau Veritas, valid through April 23, 2028), with IATF 16949 / ISO/TS 16949 compatibility for automotive work and IPC certified production and trainers across the operation.

Revenue is generated through B2B contract manufacturing fees on a quote-based, per-project pricing model, sold via direct enterprise field sales to automotive, industrial, medical, aviation, and consumer electronics customers in regional European markets. Recent strategic activity has been heavily focused on capital investment subsidized by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility: a BGN 900,000 technological modernization project starting April 2023 to digitalize and expand production capacity, and a BGN 797,200 innovation project starting December 2024 (running through March 2026) to implement high-speed monitoring, control, test, and cleaning processes for ultra-fine-pitch components down to 01005 and 008004 — indicating a clear capacity and capability expansion posture anchored in regulated-industry demand.
