What kasdon electronics does

Kasdon Electronics Ltd is a Wolverhampton, UK-based contract electronics manufacturer (CEM) providing PCB assembly, box build and final assembly, cable and wire harness preparation, PCB testing with flying probe, automated optical inspection, and material supply chain management. The company operates an ultra-modern single-site facility with five state-of-the-art SMT lines rated at approximately 1 million placements per shift, supported by ERP-based component tracking and buffer stock agreements that allow customers to flex demand. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, and IPC-A-610 certifications, and a Made in Britain mark, enabling participation in medical device and military-grade electronics programs alongside commercial work.

The business is structured as a wholly-owned operating unit within NOTE UK and the wider NOTE Group, a Northern European and Asian CEM network, which provides international manufacturing scale and customer reach beyond what the standalone Wolverhampton footprint could deliver. Kasdon serves blue-chip enterprise customers across LED technology, military and defense, industrial control, medical, electric vehicles, and IoT end-markets, with Toshiba named as a customer. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-specific contracts on multi-year horizons, with go-to-market executed primarily via direct enterprise sales, relationship-driven business development, industry events including a June 2026 Open Day, and content marketing through the kasdonpcb.com website. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed and the company remains privately held as a NOTE Group subsidiary.
