EMS Manufacturing in China vs. Europe | Juny 05, 2026

Most sourcing decisions are based on unit price alone. This white paper explains why a comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis often leads to very different conclusions for European OEMs evaluating EMS manufacturing in China versus Europe.

The Future of Electronics Manufacturing: China & Europe | Juny 10, 2026

Most narratives assume China's manufacturing dominance is fading. This white paper examines the data behind that claim and what it actually means for European OEMs weighing sourcing and location decisions.

Collaboration Across the Electronics Supply Chain | July 16, 2026

Effective collaboration is a key driver of supply security and competitiveness. This Strategic White Paper explores why closer cooperation between OEMs, EMS providers, distributors, and PCB manufacturers is essential for reducing risks and strengthening the resilience of the electronics value chain.
Understanding India's Role in Global Electronics Manufacturing | Spezial WP | Juny 14, 2026

India is becoming an increasingly important location for electronics manufacturing. This white paper examines the current state of PCB manufacturing, EMS, and electronic component sourcing, providing strategic insights for European OEMs and supply chain decision-makers.
Can Circular Economy Strengthen Europe's Electronics Industry? | SWP | Juny 18, 2026

This Strategic White Paper explores how circular economy, remanufacturing and strategic sourcing could strengthen Europe's electronics industry. It examines whether future sourcing decisions and TCO could include material recovery and resilience.

China+1 — Manufacturing Strategy for European OEMs | White Paper | Juny 29, 2026

China remains central to global electronics manufacturing. This white paper explores how Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and Eastern Europe complement — not replace — your existing China strategy, and where each location genuinely fits within a diversified manufacturing network.
Obsolescence Management in EMS Partnerships | WP | August 5, 2026

Discover why proactive obsolescence management has become one of the most important—but often overlooked—criteria for selecting an EMS partner. Learn how IEC 62402, lifecycle monitoring, and structured RFQ assessments help reduce long-term supply chain risks.
Key Economic Levers in Electronics Manufacturing | WP | August 12, 2026

While modern SMT lines offer limited additional optimization potential, the greatest opportunities lie in upstream processes. Learn how PCB design, DfM, component selection, and early EMS involvement reduce manufacturing costs and strengthen competitiveness.
The Critical Raw Materials Act in Electronics Practice | August 15, 2026

Export restrictions and mandatory bi-annual risk assessments present new challenges for supply chain leaders. This white paper explores concrete solutions through EMS partnerships and the strategic role of emerging markets like India in diversifying raw material supply.
