Schaeffler is launching another performance improvement programme, which will cut a net 3,460 positions in Europe, around 2,660 of them in Germany. Five sites are to close, four of them in Germany. The company cites weak demand for combustion engine vehicles and a slower-than-expected ramp-up of electric mobility.

Vytautas-Gene

Europe says it wants its PCB industry back. But when Vytautas Ilgūnas, CCO of TLT PCB, asks whether customers actually mean it, industry veteran Gene H. Weiner’s answer is blunt: “They say yes, but behave no.” Ilgūnas himself sees a European market that has started to move – though not everywhere at the same speed.

Inission has completed its acquisition of German EMS provider Bavaria Digital Technik (BDT) in Pfronten. The deal covers all shares in BDT and gives the Swedish EMS provider its first factory in Germany.

The move further strengthens Melexis’ local presence in one of its fastest-developing markets and will support growth opportunities in two-wheeler mobility, vehicle electrification, solar market and smart energy metering.

Private equity firm Industrial Growth Partners (IGP) has agreed to sell AdvancedPCB, a US maker of high-reliability PCBs, to Amphenol. AdvancedPCB serves customers in defence, aerospace and industry from six sites in the United States.

Marvell Technology has agreed to acquire optical component maker Lumentum in an all-stock deal that values Lumentum at an enterprise value of USD 115 billion. The companies plan to combine Marvell’s electrical interconnect and custom silicon with Lumentum’s lasers and optical transceivers as AI data centres move from copper to optical connectivity.

satellite

The G2 satellites will incorporate enhanced navigation antennas to enhance the accuracy of the flagship European Global Navigation Satellite System. The spacecraft will be equipped with higher-strength navigation antennas as well as fully digital payloads.

Mastering Heat, Securing Performance Würth Elektronik eisos

700x300

Various cooling concepts are available to efficiently dissipate heat from electronic components. However, if power losses are not removed reliably, performance degradation, premature aging, or even component failure may result. Selecting the appropriate heat sink and thermal interface material is therefore essential.

Guwahati_Tata_Electronics

With an aim to address the growing need for a skilled workforce in the Indian semiconductor industry, this collaboration will develop educational and training programs aligned with industry requirements.

While the importance of semiconductors in vehicles continues to grow structurally, demand for wafer manufacturing capacity for high-voltage technologies is rising sharply. With the extended supply agreement, Elmos aims to address these developments at an early stage.

Penang_factory

The new facility will primarily focus on semiconductor equipment manufacturing and AI solutions, with dedicated space for contract manufacturing activities.

Robotics_building

With the new funding, US-based startup Foundry Robotics will build out its Emeryville facility, accelerate deployment of AI models into real-world manufacturing, and grow its robotics research, engineering and factory operations teams.

Labs_Chips

With this new funding, UK-based startup Salience Labs will accelerate the deployment of its optical circuit switching (OCS) technology, scale its volume manufacturing operations and expand its U.S. presence in Silicon Valley.

Australia

This portfolio of projects includes Corowa Solar Farm, Junee Solar Farm, Wagga Solar Farm, Wagga Stage 2, Wyalong Solar Farm, and Kingaroy Solar Farm. All six solar farms have been energised using Ingeteam’s central inverter technology.

As key elements of the U.S. Army’s LIDS program, KuRFS provides advanced 360-degree threat detection, while Coyote low-cost kinetic and non-kinetic effectors defeat individual drones as well as swarms, with hundreds of intercepts in combat.

facility-2026

Norwegian EMS provider Norautron has signed an agreement to acquire Poland’s Fideltronik from the Stardust Family Foundation. The deal is set to reshuffle the European EMS rankings, as the combined group will have revenues of about EUR 750 million and some 3,500 employees.

headoffice

Japanese component maker Murata plans to invest about JPY 1 trillion (about EUR 5.7 billion) over five years to expand its global production capacity for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). The company expects MLCC sales in fiscal 2030 to be at least double those of fiscal 2025.

Headquarters-Durham

The agreement strengthens the companies’ longstanding collaboration while providing BorgWarner with a reliable, long-term supply of high-performance silicon carbide technology for next-generation EV and power conversion applications.

fire_2

Three construction vehicles have been destroyed by fire at the site of Rheinmetall’s planned logistics centre and drone testing facility in Calden, central Germany. Police suspect arson and are investigating whether the fire was politically motivated.

QuantrolOx

The investment will accelerate QuantrolOx’s commercial growth and international expansion, including its growing presence in North America following the opening of its first US office in Berkeley, California. The round brings its total funding to approximately EUR 28 million.
