What seli-kab does

Seli-kab S.r.l. is an Italian Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) company that engineers, produces, and tests electronic equipment and systems for major international automotive OEMs and industrial customers. Its operational headquarters and main production facility are located in Carini (Palermo), Sicily, with a registered office in Mercenasco (Turin). The current legal entity was formed in 2017 when the Kab-lem Group took control of Selital (itself spun off from Italtel in 2002), but the Carini production site has operated continuously since 1974, originally as a Siemens installation, giving the business a 50-year operational heritage in electronics manufacturing.

The company's product portfolio centers on assembled printed circuit boards (PCBA) produced on high-automation SMT lines, complemented by finished electronic subassemblies including ignition systems and pencil coils, Engine Control Units (ECU), HVAC/climate control units, Battery Management Systems (BMS), telecommunications equipment, IoT devices with WiFi connectivity, and avionics electronics. Operations are anchored by a fully automated three-dimensional warehouse spanning approximately 8,500 cubic meters with 15,000 storage positions. Seli-kab holds IATF 16949:2016 and UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certifications (both valid through August 2027), qualifying it for Tier 1 automotive supply chains. The company employs approximately 130 people at the main Carini plant, including technical staff and highly specialized operators.

Seli-kab operates a B2B contract manufacturing model with quote-based, customized pricing structured around multi-year OEM programs. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct supply to automotive customers such as McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati, MV Agusta, the Volkswagen Group (VW, Audi, Seat), BMW, Stellantis brands (Citroën, Peugeot), Renault, Toyota, and Nissan, plus Italtel in telecommunications. The company is controlled by Tecno System S.p.A., which acquired the Kab-lem Group's controlling shares in 2022, with Denso Thermal System S.p.A. holding a 19.9% strategic minority stake since 2019. No public revenue or funding data is disclosed.
