Development and manufacturing of custom electronic controls and assemblies – from hardware and software to series production.
ELREM ELECTRONIC AG
Niederönz (CH)New on Amplifa
Center of excellence for electronics from the Bern-Basel-Zurich region
ELREM ELECTRONIC AG is a family-owned Swiss EMS provider (Electronic Manufacturing Services) based in Niederönz in the canton of Bern. The company develops and manufactures custom electronic controls and assemblies for industries such as industrial automation, metrology, railway technology and the household goods industry. The range of services includes hardware development with circuit design and PCB design, software development for embedded systems and IoT applications, as well as complete electronics manufacturing with SMT and THT assembly, reflow soldering, conformal coating, potting, functional testing, programming and final assembly. Lot sizes range from prototypes and small series to high-volume series. In terms of materials, FR4-based printed circuit boards (TG135, TG150) and special materials with copper layers of 35 to 105 µm are processed. In addition, ELREM offers lifecycle management, component monitoring, retrofit, repair service and process optimization. The quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by SQS and covers development, procurement, production and service.
