Focus on PCB 2026: Strong Interest in European EMS Partnerships

Post-Show Report

Focus on PCB 2026  proved to be an important meeting point for the European PCB, PCBA, and EMS industry. For VESLA EMS, the exhibition was a valuable opportunity to meet new companies, strengthen existing relationships, and discuss the future challenges and opportunities within electronics manufacturing.

High Interest from Industrial Electronics Companies

Throughout the event, the VESLA EMS team welcomed visitors from a wide range of sectors, with particularly strong interest from companies active in industrial electronics and technically

demanding applications. According to Vesla Sales Managers Ondřej Baier and Jiri Uma, many discussions focused on manufacturing quality, flexibility, engineering support, and the growing importance of reliable European production partners.

Engineering Support and Flexibility Becoming Essential

One clear trend during the exhibition was the increasing demand for EMS partners that can support customers beyond pure manufacturing. Many visitors were looking for companies capable of assisting already during the DFM and prototyping phase, while also offering a smooth transition toward serial production. Shortening time-to-market and ensuring stable supply chains were recurring topics in almost every technical discussion.

The Growing Importance of European Manufacturing

Another important observation was the growing focus on European manufacturing. More companies are actively looking to strengthen local supply chains and reduce dependency on overseas production. This reshoring trend creates strong opportunities for technically skilled EMS companies that can combine production capabilities with engineering know-how and a flexible customer-oriented approach.

For VESLA EMS, this confirms the growing importance of long-term partnerships within the EMS sector. The company continues to see strong growth potential in areas such as industrial electronics, mobility, energy, and other applications where reliability and technical expertise are critical.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead, the VESLA EMS team would like to further expand the technical aspect of future exhibitions by presenting more practical demonstrations, customer case studies, and engineering consultations directly at the booth.

We would like to thank everyone who visited us during Focus on PCB 2026. The positive feedback, technical discussions, and new connections made the event a great success, and we look forward to continuing these conversations in the coming months.
