As we step into January 2025, it is our pleasure to reflect on the past year through our annual review. This tradition has become a hallmark at Eurocircuits, offering us the opportunity to celebrate achievements, share key milestones, and express our gratitude to those who made it all possible. As always, we present our most important key figures in graphical form at the end of this summary.
Guided by our motto, “an engineer's best friend,” we have continued to innovate, invest, and strengthen our position as a trusted engineering partner for PCBs and PCB assemblies across Europe. From introducing new, cutting-edge services to advancing sustainability, our focus has remained firmly on delivering value to engineers and designers in the European electronics industry.
Let's take a moment to look back at what made 2024 such a remarkable year for Eurocircuits.
New service: HDI pool – making advanced designs accessible
In 2024, we proudly launched our HDI pool, a service designed to simplify the transition to High-Density Interconnect (HDI) technology. Whether engineers are routing BGAs with pitches as small as 0.4 mm or exploring microvia designs, HDI pool provides a seamless and cost-effective gateway to this advanced technology.
With HDI pool, we deliver:
- Instant pricing and fast turnaround: Immediate quotes and delivery in as little as 10 working days.
- Design support tools: Tools such as our PCB Visualizer and Altium Design Rule Check packages ensure “Right First Time for Manufacture.”
- Expert guidance: Predefined fan-outs for common packages and hands-on support from our experienced engineers guarantee reliable prototyping.
This service reflects our commitment to empowering engineers with tools that bridge the gap between design and production, making advanced technology more accessible than ever before.
Investments: driving efficiency and sustainability
To uphold our promise of excellence, we made significant investments in our manufacturing facilities and processes throughout 2024, totaling €5.5 million. These investments focused on enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and quality:
- Machinery and automation: €4 million was allocated to new machinery, shop floor automation, and process optimization for PCB assembly and manufacturing.
- Sustainability initiatives: €1.5 million was invested in renewable energy projects, energy monitoring systems, and reorganizing our PCB manufacturing buildings to reduce environmental impact.
These efforts reflect our long-term vision: harnessing state-of-the-art technology while prioritizing sustainable practices to meet the needs of engineers and the environment alike.
Transparency and efficiency: enhancing customer experience
In 2024, we introduced a new order timeline system to further streamline the design-to-production process. This enhancement offers our customers:
- 24/7 access to order status: Track every stage of production and shipping through your Eurocircuits account.
- Real-time deadline adjustments: Adapt delivery schedules to accommodate tight project requirements.
- Detailed shipping information: Access tracking numbers and live delivery updates seamlessly.
With these tools, we aim to provide peace of mind for engineers managing challenging timelines and complex projects.
Supporting the engineering community
Eurocircuits remains deeply committed to supporting a thriving engineering community. By 2024:
- We proudly supported over 20,000 engineers from more than 11,000 companies, processing 100,000+ orders.
- Our partnerships with technical colleges and universities flourished, enabling 69 student projects to benefit from our tools, expertise, and guidance.
These collaborations inspire innovation and nurture the next generation of engineering talent. For a closer look at the remarkable projects we've supported, visit the Student Projects section on our website.
Advocating for a resilient European electronics industry
At electronica 2024, we were reminded of the extraordinary potential within the European electronics industry. As a trusted partner deeply embedded in this ecosystem, we believe securing Europe's position as a leading hub for development and manufacturing is essential for global success.
We will continue to champion resilience and innovation, offering tailored solutions that enable engineers to design and manufacture locally while remaining globally competitive.
