About ATHELEC
ATHELEC – Le Circuit Imprimé Français is a French company based in Buc near Versailles that has been active in electronics manufacturing since 1979. The company designs, manufactures and distributes equipment, products and accessories for the production of printed circuit boards (PCB), covering the entire process from prototype fabrication to series production. The portfolio includes systems for mechanical and laser prototyping of PCBs, automatic as well as manual and semi-automatic pick-and-place machines, selective soldering systems, soldering and rework equipment, video microscopes for inspection and work platforms. In addition, ATHELEC offers a wide range of services: installation and commissioning of the systems, staff training, maintenance contracts, technical support by telephone or remote maintenance, consulting for the preparation of requirement specifications, test and demonstration appointments in its own demo room in Buc as well as financing assistance and rental models for the French market. Customers' applications range from education, research and 5G to energy storage, renewable energies, rail transport, military and aerospace engineering, and on to lighting, building services, automotive and medical technology. The company also sells its products internationally through authorized distributors who, after appropriate training, carry out installations on behalf of ATHELEC.
