Switching your EMS provider?
Request a comparison quote for your existing product. We transfer production in a controlled way, from pilot run to series production.
We respond to quote requests within one week
From a single prototype to series production
From when the required components are with us
Including medical devices
Why companies re-tender their contract manufacturer
Switching manufacturers rarely comes down to a single issue. Usually it is one of these — and these are exactly what our operations are built around.
Small batches get deprioritised
At large EMS providers, small and medium volumes compete for capacity with major accounts. We have no minimum order quantity, and prototypes, small batches and series production run through the same production planning.
Lead times keep slipping
We manufacture everything in our own facility in Kemijärvi, Finland, so production, quality and schedules are under our direct control. Lead time is approximately one week from when the required components are with us.
Price and total cost
A comparison quote shows what the same product costs with us. Total cost also includes logistics, quality costs and inventory — not just the unit price.
No real point of contact
Our customers talk directly with production and sales. Changes, component substitutions and schedules are agreed quickly.
Rising quality requirements
ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management, FeinFocus X-ray inspection and functional testing, including for medical devices.
Your supplier was acquired or changed strategy
Industry consolidation can change priorities and minimum order quantities. We have manufactured electronics as an independent Finnish company since 1994.
What we need for a comparison quote
A bill of materials (BOM) and an estimated annual volume are usually enough for an initial estimate. For a detailed quote we review the full manufacturing data package.
We can sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share your data.
- Bill of materials (BOM) with manufacturer part numbers and approved alternates
- PCB fabrication files (Gerber or ODB++)
- Pick-and-place / centroid file
- Assembly drawings and any mechanical drawings
- Test instructions with pass/fail criteria, programming files
- Estimated annual volume and typical batch size
- Optionally your current price level for a direct comparison
How a production transfer works
A transfer is an engineering task, not just logistics. We proceed step by step so your deliveries are not interrupted.
Example: a typical transfer timeline
An illustrative example of how a transfer progresses week by week. The actual schedule depends on the product and, above all, on component availability.
Tips for a low-risk supplier switch
Most delays come from incomplete documentation and rushing the transfer. Check these before terminating your current agreement.
Keep the old supplier running
Order a sufficient buffer stock from your current manufacturer or run production in parallel until the pilot batch is approved.
Check the contract and ownership
Confirm the notice period and who owns stencils, test fixtures, programming equipment and components already purchased.
Request up-to-date documentation
Manufacturers accumulate knowledge that is never written down: approved component substitutions, process adjustments and test software versions. Ask for them in writing.
