Kontron Electronics and beflex electronic complete merger

Kontron Electronics and beflex electronic have completed their merger. The beflex brand will continue under the umbrella of Kontron Electronics.  

The merger brings rapid prototyping into closer alignment with development, industrialization and series production. As a result, customers benefit from earlier coordination of technical, commercial, and procurement-related matters, particularly when transitioning from prototypes to series production, Kontron said. 

beflex complements Kontron Electronics’ service portfolio in early-stage and near-series project phases, from the implementation of initial functional samples to near-series prototypes. This includes rapid prototyping, small-series production, Class 8 cleanroom manufacturing, layout services, and lifecycle management services to help ensure long-term component availability.  

Kontron has extensive experience in custom electronics development, embedded technologies, proprietary product platforms, and series production. The understanding of products, systems, and applications gained from this experience supports the early consideration of customer-specific, technical, and regulatory requirements, Kontron said.  

“With this merger, we are creating greater continuity and planning reliability for custom electronics projects,” said Holger Wußmann, Managing Director of Kontron Electronics GmbH. “The established structures and expertise of beflex will remain in place and be integrated into the development and manufacturing structures of Kontron Electronics.”
