Würth Elektronik and Starteam Global team up on PCB sourcing

What happened

Würth Elektronik and German PCB manufacturer Starteam Global are expanding their cooperation into a strategic partnership. The first step is a joint online PCB shop, where customers can specify their PCBs, calculate a price and submit a request for quotation in three steps; customers will also get access to the two companies' combined manufacturing networks in Europe and Asia. The partnership is meant to give customers a choice of manufacturing options from prototypes to volume production, depending on technology, volume and delivery requirements. The two companies have worked together before: in 2025, Starteam Global joined Würth Elektronik and Peters Group in the s.mask technical roadshow on additive solder mask technology, and the new partnership turns that technical cooperation into a commercial one. Würth Elektronik Circuit Board Technology produces PCBs at its sites in Germany and through qualified partners in Asia; Starteam Global was founded in Germany and has production at Flero Starteam in Italy (prototypes and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing), as well as at Jiangyou Starteam in China and Prachinburi Starteam in Thailand for volume production.
