Structure

The IPTE Group consists of two core businesses - Factory Automation and Contract Manufacturing -, each combining a number of specific activities for the electronics industry. While these business units operate with autonomy, IPTE endeavors to capitalize on synergy possibilities between the two business units.

Factory Automation

The Factory Automation business unit develops and markets test and production systems which it integrates into completely automated production and assembly lines for the electronics industry. Initially, IPTE was established as a producer of test equipment for printed circuit boards (PCBs), before expanding its activities to include production equipment, which it integrated with the test equipment in integrated production lines, and the assembly and testing of end-of line systems. Today IPTE focuses on the design and integration of complete production lines, providing full factory automation. With over 10 years of experience in the automation industry, IPTE understands the challenges of the sector. Through continuous investments in know-how and new technologies, the company endeavors to develop this expertise in production and test automation to provide its customers with turnkey systems that combine all the different solutions required in electronic production.

In order to achieve this IPTE combines the expertise of all its subsidiaries.
IPTE RF, And-Elec and Antest in France provide in test, test systems and test applications. The Prodel Group supplies flexible assembly systems and solutions. The company specialises in developing and producing automated transport systems and assembly technology for clients in various industries.

Test Automation Production Automation Depaneling
IPTE develops test equipment, test handlers and turn-key solutions for the automation of testing and adjustments of PCB’s and electronic products. IPTE designs, manufactures and markets modular production equipment for the assembly of PCBs and final products in complete automated production lines. IPTE ‘s depaneling systems offer a unique combination of cutting tools, material handling and tooling to cut high technology panelized printed circuit board assemblies.
     
Odd-Form Placement Handling Equipment Optronics

IPTE’s Contract Manufacturing business unit was born from the acquisition of Connect Systems (Belgium) in 1999. The division provides cost-effective, high-quality electronic manufacturing services for the professional industry in the Benelux and Germany. Its activities include the confection of cables and cable harnesses, PCB assembly and testing, the production of sub-assemblies and final product assembly.
The Contract Manufacturing business unit operates four state-of-the-art production facilities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany and has expanded its contract manufacturing capacity into eastern Europe with facilities in Slovakia and Romania.

Cable Assembly PCB Assembly Module Assembly
For the production of wires, cables, fiber optics and cable assemblies, Connect Systems applies a wide variety of production techniques from manual wire-wrap and soldering through semi-automated processes to fully automated equipment. Connect Systems offers specialised production facilities for the assembly and test of PCB's and PCB assemblies with several integrated automatic production lines, built around a series of modern service mounters to provide a rapid, cost-efficient assembly of SMD circuits. For the assembly of finished products Connect Systems disposes of versatile and modular production locations to handle total projects from A to Z : from development up to after sales service.
