By expanding its production capacity and utilizing highly automated injection molding processes at its Leipzig plant, Kontron eSystems is reinforcing its position within the Electronics² network as a high-performance partner in plastics processing. A key component of this expansion is the automated in-mold decoration (IMD) process, which enables the production of high-quality, visually appealing parts with an excellent surface finish. For the first time, all plastic parts can be manufactured directly at the Leipzig plant. This increased vertical integration reduces reliance on external suppliers and strengthens the resilience of the Kontron Group's supply chain.
The complete integration of plastics processing and electronics manufacturing in a single location provides significant added value for customers. The seamless integration of all development, production, and quality assurance processes enables short turnaround times and customized solutions. This makes it possible to manufacture state-of-the-art, top-quality components under one roof, particularly for electromobility applications.
The entire production infrastructure is designed to meet the highest quality standards and offers short lead times, as well as maximum flexibility in design and variants. Thanks to automated handling and packaging processes, cleanroom-compliant manufacturing of visible components, and centralized material supply, a wide range of customer requirements can be met. Modern production cells, automated component removal, camera-assisted quality control, and a fully integrated packaging system ensure efficient operations. A driverless conveyor system completes these features, guaranteeing a continuous, cost-effective, and high-performance process.
Electronics² brings together the development and manufacturing expertise of Kontron, KATEK, and beflex electronic. Within this network, Kontron eSystems' Leipzig plant serves as a center of excellence for the development and manufacturing of complex, visually appealing, and functional plastic components for a wide range of industries, from simple parts to complex components with demanding aesthetic requirements. Through its Electronics² service brand, Kontron takes an integrated approach to the development, manufacturing, and integration of plastic and electronic assemblies.
