Elmatica is leading the way for developing new software solutions for the PCB industry

Each year, the Printed Circuit Broker invest 20% of its EBITDA in developing new software solutions, and the next generation of software is ready for beta testing in the fourth quarter of 2018.

“I am surprised by the lack of investment in software and IT systems among our competitors. The industry and external elements are demanding transparency, documentation, automatic access to data and traceability. We believe those who neglect to understand and meet these demands, will experience challenges over the next years”, says Bech.
