Factory Franchise plans locally owned electronics factories across Europe, targeting first boards six months after contract.

One line,
every station.

The planned package covers a complete SMT line: printer, inspection, placement, reflow and optical inspection, with import, CE conformity checks and installation.

Your machine data stays yours.

The planned software brings production and quality reporting together. Our data principle: each site owns its production data and can export it.

One standard.
Every site.

The concept uses one documented process, with preparation for the standards customers require, from ISO 9001 to IATF 16949. Each site would need its own certification.

Built in Europe.

The aim is to build boards close to the people who design them, with locally owned factories. A first pilot is planned for 2027.
