Kontron moves VPX board production to Huntsville

What happened

Reported on October 14, 2026: Kontron has started US production of its rugged VX307H computing board at subsidiary Nextek in Huntsville, Alabama, and at the same time the product moves from build-to-order to build-to-stock to shorten delivery times for US defense customers. The VX307H is the first product in a broader expansion of Kontron's VPX manufacturing in the US, with the VX3060 and VX30101 planned to follow. Nextek handles the entire production chain in Huntsville, from PCB assembly to final assembly and test; the facility is certified to AS9100 and ISO 9001, is ITAR-registered and works to IPC workmanship standards. According to the company, defense customers are asking for greater supply-chain resilience, faster availability and closer access to support, and bringing VX307H production to the U.S. directly addresses those needs. The VX307H is a 3U VPX platform based on Intel's Xeon D-2700/2800 processors, designed in accordance with the SOSA standard.
