Manufacturing in Asia is no longer just a question of price - we at Würth Elektronik experience this every day in our cooperation with our customers. Today, what counts is combining quality, speed and flexibility to create a strategic advantage. With our Asia Production, we offer far more than just production capacities: you receive a high-performance overall package for your PCB production.

Responsibility along the entire supply chain
Global supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. This makes it all the more important to have a partner who actively manages risks. YOU want worry-free delivery of high-quality goods, WE take responsibility for this – from detailed manufacturer selection and quality assurance to logistics. We transfer key risks from you to us so that you can rely on stable processes.

The right plant for every technology
Our network of carefully selected partner plants in Asia is broadly based. Depending on the technology and quality requirements, we select the right plant - always with a view to achieving an optimum best-cost ratio. So you get the maximum quality without paying more than necessary.

Communication at eye level - across continents
In our project work, we see time and time again that communication is key. That's why we have multilingual teams – supported by native-speaking colleagues directly on site.
We don't just pass on information, we think for ourselves! Our electronics experts have an average of more than 10 years of industry expertise. This ensures that your technical requirements are clearly understood and precisely implemented. Documentation and communication are carried out using state-of-the-art, specially developed software. This guarantees that nothing is lost.

Quality - locally anchored, globally assured
Our quality assurance representatives work directly in the Asian production plants and closely with the German teams. This enables us to identify potential sources of error at an early stage and ensure consistent quality from the first prototype to series delivery.
A central element of our quality assurance is our Quality Design Center in Shenzhen. There, our own engineers test countless printed circuit boards every day – using state-of-the-art measurement technology and focusing on material quality and specification compliance, in accordance with IPC printed circuit board standards and beyond.
This is complemented by our Total Quality Management: regular audits according to automotive standards (e.g., VDA 6.3, IATF 16949) and highly experienced specialist staff ensure the highest quality standards without compromise. All processes are transparent, documented, and traceable at all times.

Know-how from Asia directly into your projects
An important part of our work is to identify developments at an early stage—and make them usable for our customers. Whether new technologies or design trends: what we experience at international conferences and in daily contact with customers flows directly into your projects. This gives you a real advantage—without any training effort on your part.

Shorten development time - improve time-to-market
Fast delivery is an advantage. Our experience, optimized processes, and structured project support help you shorten your time to market—with positive effects on sales and competitiveness. With high-speed production runs and our accelerated logistics solutions, we can implement even the most time-critical projects for you.

Reduce fixed costs - focus on the essentials
With our integrated services, you reduce internal costs: fewer resources tied up in quality testing, purchasing, logistics or development. Your teams can concentrate on what really matters - your core business.

Intelligent storage solutions with risk assumption
Another point that becomes important in many customer discussions: Warehousing. With our consignment and long-term storage solutions, we not only reduce your capital commitment, but also the risk. By storing your PCBs free of charge in our central warehouse in Germany, we assume part of the responsibility along your supply chain.

This brings tangible benefits:

  • Relief for your storage space
  • Savings on space, air conditioning and maintenance costs
  • Better liquidity
  • Partial hedging against exchange rate fluctuations
  • Condition monitoring with regard to shelf life

This flexibility ensures greater planning security and efficiency in your procurement.

Backed by the Würth Group - for greater reliability
As part of the internationally successful Würth Group, we benefit from stable structures, high delivery capability and an excellent reputation. For our customers, this means additional security and a network that opens doors worldwide.

Conclusion: Efficiency that pays off
For us, “Asia Production” does not mean “cheap” – it means well thought-out efficiency. Our promise: sound advice, assured quality, short distances, and a functioning overall system.
