About GCD Electronic
GCD Electronic GmbH is an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider based in Erlangen that has been offering services for professional electronics manufacturing since 1995. Its range of services covers everything related to the PCB: from the procurement of electronic components and printed circuit boards to SMD assembly down to the smallest package size 01005, as well as THT assembly, vapor phase soldering, visual inspection, testing and final assembly. For component preparation, bending, cutting and notching are carried out in-house, as is the assembly of electromechanical elements such as heat sinks and spacer bolts. Production supports prototypes, small series and series production with dynamic, project-based capacities. In addition, the company handles the flashing of microcontrollers and ICs as well as electrical tests and functional tests according to customer specifications. For PCB layouts, GCD Electronic relies on a network of specialized partners; the warehouse holds more than 10,000 items.
