SNESE - Syndicat National des Entreprises de Sous-traitance Électronique

What SNESE - Syndicat National des Entreprises de Sous-traitance Électronique does

SNESE (Syndicat National des Entreprises de Sous-traitance Électronique) is a French professional trade association founded in 1983 and headquartered in Paris. It represents approximately 200 French electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies operating primarily under NAF code 2612Z (assembly of electronic cards), which together account for an estimated €5.3 billion in annual turnover and 32,000 direct employees. The association is recognized by the French Government, sits on the CSF ÉLECTRONIQUE strategic committee under the Ministry of Industry, and is a member of FIEEC.

The organization generates revenue through annual membership dues calculated on each member's electronics-subcontracting turnover, plus ancillary productized services sold to members and the wider market: e-FICIO cost-management software (€500 HT for members / €2,000 HT non-members for a 5-year license), the REPDATA directory of French electronics companies (€600 HT), and a Base Documentaire of regulatory, economic, and contractual templates. Other member-facing platforms include Job Tronic'S (job board), Net Tronic'S (component exchange), and Equip Tronic'S (used equipment marketplace). Content and community reach is delivered through Les Cahiers de l'Industrie Électronique & Numérique (a quarterly journal, ISSN 1774-5438, since 1986), Canal FdEF (weekly press review), industry events (GLOBAL INDUSTRIE, SEPEM, EURONAVAL), and IPC soldering competitions.

Go-to-market is hybrid: a sales-led direct membership engagement by SNESE's Délégué Général, supplemented by event-driven collective participation in trade shows and a community-led editorial model (quarterly journal, press review, member portal). The association is governed by a 12-member Comité Directeur elected by members. In January 2025 SNESE merged with ACSIEL and SPDEI to form the Fédération de l'Électronique Française; that federation was launched in December 2025 with Laurence Dassas appointed Déléguée Générale, while Nicolas Denis (President of Asteelflash) took over as President of SNESE in September 2025 from Eric Burnotte after three mandates.
