Marketing and Business Development for EMS Providers
The European electronics industry possesses a great deal of expertise and experience in the development, industrialization, and manufacturing of complex assemblies and modules.
What they often lack are
- active sales efforts
- European partners
- fast, digitized processes
- digital visibility & reach
- a clear strategy & a distinctive portfolio
- efficient software solutions for small and medium-sized businesses
We help you overcome these hurdles so you can position yourself for the future in Europe’s E(2)MS landscape!
So that you can continue to focus on your core competency—the development and manufacture of electronics—and the day-to-day challenges that come with it—such as unreliable supply chains and product discontinuations—we will develop a strategy for you that incorporates all the necessary analog and digital elements of modern communication.
We accompany you in your day-to-day operations, understand your customer base, market focus, and goals –
so that we can use this information to create a customized, industry-specific strategy tailored to your EMS profile.
This will help you increase your visibility, better differentiate yourself from the competition, and let your existing customers know what capabilities and technologies you offer beyond the services they’ve previously booked with you.
New business isn’t generated solely through new customers – it also arises through dialogue with existing customers as they gain fresh insights into the possibilities of modern electronics manufacturing.

Why marketing and business development specifically for EMS?
INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC STRATEGY
Demands for efficiency, documentation, and transparency are constantly increasing.
Until now, the industry has operated in isolation and is largely undigitized. – Marketing and sales were rarely necessary—so there is a lack of experience in these areas.
We understand the company, its core competencies, and its goals. Based on this understanding, we design a customized strategy.
TIME SAVINGS
EMS is a B2B business built on trust:
Without a deep understanding of the industry, EMS marketing cannot succeed.
Traditional marketing agencies need to be supplied with industry-specific content, which takes a lot of time. – We identify and implement relevant, up-to-date EMS topics for your website and social media strategy.

Visibility and reach aren’t everything.
Especially in these times of change, it is crucial to have efficient and adaptable processes and to be able to offer a modern portfolio of products and services.
The legal requirements for transparency and traceability—not only of batches and components, but also of raw materials, hazardous substances, and CO2 emissions—are becoming increasingly complex and labor-intensive to implement.
It is therefore essential to automate routine tasks related to data collection, analysis, and processing as much as possible, leaving only the evaluation of the results to experienced experts.
This frees up valuable work time for
- maintaining customer relationships,
- strategic tasks, and
- optimizing the interfaces between departments
When it comes to data processing—especially when dealing with order data and the protection of the intellectual property of the product’s creators—the highest standards must be applied to protect the data from unauthorized access, manipulation, or destruction.
Specialized software solutions for the EMS industry that are demonstrably developed and hosted in Europe are a key component in meeting these requirements.
For one thing is certain:
The future of the European electronics industry does not lie in the mass production of consumer electronics.
Rather, it lies in sectors with the highest demands for performance, durability, reliability, and protection of the product concept:
Medical
technology
Aviation &
Aerospace
Railway technology
Communikation technology
Civil protection
IT infrastructure
