Schramberg/Gerlingen, December 9, 2013 – Elekonta Marek GmbH & Co. KG and Schweizer Electronic AG have concluded an agreement on a cooperation in the prototype segment for innovative Printed Circuit Board (PCB) solutions.
The increasing trend towards high tech and innovative products in the European PCB market forms the basis of this collaboration. It is a constant challenge for suppliers to provide customers with adequate technology samples in high quality which are suitable for subsequent serial production.
Via the cooperation with SCHWEIZER, Elekonta, a company focussing on prototype manu-facturing of PCBs, expands its service for existing customers. Following the successful ex-ecution of prototypes, these customers will then have the option of having SCHWEIZER produce mid-size and high-volume series. SCHWEIZER’s customers, on the other hand, will be offered a second source for the production of samples via Elekonta.
In their collaboration and for the benefit of their customers, the partners will concentrate on the area of new technologies, the related exchange of trends and the multiplying factor connected to it. Initially, Elekonta and SCHWEIZER will focus on HDI, thick copper, HF and impedance-controlled PCBs.
„The new partnership will ensure that technology samples can later on be produced in ad-equate quality and reliability in high volumes” says Christian Rössle, Vice President Sales & Marketing at SCHWEIZER.
And Lars Presche, Managing Director with Elekonta Marek, adds: “Via this cooperation we would like to generate for our customers an additional value-add in the product life cycle and to counter the continuously growing trade business”.
