What CORE-emt A/S does
CORE-emt A/S is a Denmark-based, privately held industrial distributor (founded 2011, headquartered in Aars) that operates as the exclusive sole supplier of Yamaha SMT machinery, BTU International reflow ovens, and Nutek board-handling conveyors across Scandinavia and the Baltic states. The company serves electronics OEMs and EMS providers with a complete surface-mount assembly line portfolio spanning laser markers, screen printers, dispensers, pick-and-place machines (YRM20/YRM20 DL/YRM10), AOI and SPI inspection, X-ray, reflow and wave soldering, conveyors, and the proprietary Yamaha YsUP software stack (programming, production assistance, traceability, M2M collaboration, monitoring, and remote maintenance). Complementing the core line, CORE-emt distributes Essegi SMD storage, Seamark and Techvalley X-ray counters, JBC soldering systems, Reeco ESD workstations and soldering robots, Lindström ESD tools, Bimos chairs, and ABEBA footwear, plus an e-commerce shop for consumables and spare parts.
The business operates on five revenue streams: (i) hardware sales of capital SMT equipment sold via direct enterprise field sales; (ii) 1–3 year service and maintenance contracts including connected remote support via encrypted webservice; (iii) hands-on and software training courses delivered at HQ, onsite, or remotely with issued certificates; (iv) financing options covering buy, lease, and rent structures; and (v) e-commerce sales of consumables and accessories. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales across Scandinavia and the Baltics, supported by an in-house showroom in Aars displaying a full SMT line, plus inside sales, customer demonstrations, and a multi-channel digital presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, blog, email newsletter, SEO). Named end customers include Swedish electronics manufacturers Liftlogic AB (Yamaha solder printer and AOI deployment) and NOTE Torsby (Essegi SMD storage automation).
Ownership is private with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds. Operations are actively running as of 2025–2026, with ongoing content publication, partner ecosystem expansion, a March 2026 product launch (Yamaha YRH10w hybrid placer extending into die bonding for large PCBs and 12-inch wafers), and active recruitment for a service technician, indicating continuing investment in field service capacity across the Nordic-Baltic territory.
