About Kontron Electronics
Kontron Electronics GmbH is a full-service electronics provider based in Frickenhausen. The company offers embedded development (ODM), rapid prototyping under the beflex brand, and EMS services: PCB assembly in SMT and THT technology, electronics testing, and device assembly — from small to large series. In addition, design-for-manufacturing analyses, material procurement, NPI services, and product maintenance across the entire lifecycle are offered. Prototypes are typically delivered within four weeks given complete project data. Development and prototyping locations are Frickenhausen, Witten, and Hamburg, plus manufacturing plants in Tab and Pécs (Hungary); at the Hamburg site, electronics manufacturing is carried out according to ISO 13485. Target industries include IoT/Industry 4.0, mechanical engineering, medical technology, building technology, environmental technology, automotive, rail, defense, and telecommunications. Founded in 1995 as as electronics GmbH, the company has been part of the Kontron Group since 2018.
