Contract manufacturing for printed electronics

FLEXOO delivers cost-effective contract manufacturing for printed electronics without compromising quality. Our ISO-certified production achieves proven customer savings of at least 10%, covering sensors, heaters, antennas, and flexible PCBs.

What is contract manufacturing?

Contract manufacturing is the outsourcing of production processes to specialized third-party manufacturers. In printed electronics, this means partnering with experts who handle everything from design optimization to mass production of electronic components like sensors, heating elements, antennas, and flexible PCBs using advanced printing technologies.

How does contract manufacturing work with FLEXOO?

You provide specifications that we transfer directly into production, or use our expertise for joint development projects. We optimize existing designs for function, cost, and quality. Our additive manufacturing minimizes process steps - applying ink and curing creates ready printed electronics in one efficient run.

Other effective accelerators

  • Machines and processes are networked. This applies from prototyping to setting up the production machine to quality monitoring. All steps are geared towards efficiency with consistently high quality.
  • Access to process alternatives that optimize and shorten production time.

See manufacturing precision in action

Our production lines operate in ISO Class 7 cleanrooms, ensuring minimal contamination for high-quality electronic components. High-performance specialized lines offer maximum flexibility with 7 printing stages in one run and layer-to-layer accuracy up to <100 µm. Using rotary screen printing, flexographic printing, and slot die coating techniques, we achieve precise results with comprehensive finishing options including punching, die-cutting, and laminating.

FLEXOO customizes your printed electronics

You have the choice: You either provide finished specifications that we transfer directly into production, or you use our expertise for joint development projects!

If desired, we optimize existing specifications in terms of function, cost, degree of integration, and quality level. Numerous market leaders already successfully use this service.

With us, you get design freedom without compromise. Additive processes allow the realization of complex geometric shapes that would not be manufacturable or only with considerable effort using conventional methods. This design freedom opens up new possibilities for your products. You benefit from higher individualization and thus unique advantages in competition.
