What p.g.a. srl does

P.G.A. S.r.l. is an Italian electronic design and manufacturing services company founded in 1995 in Fabriano (now operating from Ospitaletto, Brescia) that specializes in control boards, user interfaces, motor controllers, sensors, and IoT modules for the home appliance, lighting, vending, and industrial motor sectors. Its technical stack spans SMT and PTH assembly lines within a 2,800 m2 ESD-safe production facility, with proprietary world-first innovations including capacitive touch on stainless steel (2015), M2M hob-extractor hood interfaces (2014), and inverter-based motor control (2010). The company supports multi-protocol wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, Zigbee, Thread, BLE, Infrared, SubGiga) and operates a proprietary PGA Cloud platform for connected appliance data processing. PGA is structured as three product pillars (Appliance, Lighting, IoT) plus the PGA2.0 design/prototyping consulting business unit, with vertical integration from hardware and firmware design through certification support to mass production and after-sales rework.

P.G.A. operates as a B2B contract electronics provider selling directly to OEM manufacturers of home appliances, vending equipment, lighting systems, and electric motors via sales-engineering engagement complemented by online product configurators for quote requests. Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) electronic board manufacturing on HVLM and LVHM lines, (2) PGA2.0 design and prototyping services, (3) finished product supply, and (4) component supply with logistics management. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based rather than list-published. Customer concentration sits within European home appliance OEMs (extractor hood, oven, refrigerator, coffee machine, water dispenser, vending machine categories) with claimed worldwide export reach. Production volume metrics of 1.65 million boards and 213,000 microcontrollers annually indicate mid-volume niche EMS positioning rather than commodity-scale electronics manufacturing.

Since 2022, P.G.A. has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sabaf Group, an Italian multinational listed on the Milan Stock Exchange that provides a portfolio of home appliance components including hinges, burners, and electronic controls. The integration places P.G.A. alongside sister companies ARC, CMI, Faringosi Hinges, Mansfield Engineered Components, and OKIDA Elektronik, enabling bundled multi-component supply relationships with global appliance OEMs. ISO 9001:2015 (IMQ), IPC-A-610E Class 2, RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals compliance certifications position the company for Tier 1 OEM supplier qualification.
