Experience. Independence. Execution.

The Team Behind EMS Strategy Group

Practical Expertise. Responsibility for Your Success.

Incorrectly chosen EMS partners, unstable supply chains, and a lack of operational support are the most common reasons why production relocations fail or existing manufacturing structures come under pressure.

The EMS Strategy Group solves precisely these problems – as former EMS founders and managing directors with nearly four decades of operational responsibility in the European electronics industry. We have managed factories ourselves, set up production lines, and stabilized supply chains during times of crisis. We do not know the vulnerabilities of a production system from textbooks, but from entrepreneurial practice.

Whether it is a production relocation, safeguarding existing manufacturing structures, or continuous production and supply chain monitoring – we guide OEMs from the initial analysis to the stable series and beyond. Exclusively in the interest of the OEM. Without selling our own capacities.

Dirk Kaussen, MBA 

I have been active in electronics manufacturing since 1986 – from building production lines, leading teams, and developing quality processes to founding and managing my own EMS company in Germany. Within EMS Strategy Group, I am responsible for the strategic direction and operational management of outsourced electronics manufacturing across Europe.

My core areas of expertise include EMS partner selection, supply chain resilience, and the reliable transition into series production. Extensive international experience – including several years of operational responsibility in Brazil – shapes my practical approach and supports the successful execution of complex relocation and sourcing projects.

My focus is not on short-term cost savings, but on resilient manufacturing structures built for long-term stability. Manufacturing costs are only one factor – what truly matters are stable processes, clearly defined interfaces, and consistent obsolescence management.
