A successful product requires a well thought-out design. We take your idea and transform it into a fully certified product, ready to manufacture at the lowest cost of ownership.
You’re not the first OEM to feel frustrated by the lack of time left to focus on innovation and growth. Growth = profit. We understand that more than anyone. But growth only comes when operations run efficiently; when they’re underpinned by focused teams and strategies, and when you’re armed with a complete design and manufacturing solution.
What is your greatest challenge? Are you struggling to recruit the right staff? Are you unable to react quickly to client demands? Or perhaps you’re losing precious engineering and design time?
Whatever your challenges, ESCATEC has the internal management, design and production capabilities to assist you throughout the entire product lifecycle from introduction through to decline and obsolescence management – all while ensuring consistent and long-term business growth.
Working closely with you, our engineers help define the architecture of your product to satisfy your specific requirements.
What sets ESCATEC apart from a traditional design house is the strong focus we apply to design for manufacturability during the product development phase. This approach eliminates waste, reduces cost and helps ensure your products are delivered to market in the shortest possible time.
Since 1984, our customers have trusted us to deliver the designs they vision.
Whether you require support with electronics hardware, software or mechanical design, we have the in-house experience you need to deliver the highest quality products and service.
ESCATEC were able to drive the rapid scaling of component manufacture for Controlant, facilitating the largest and fastest global vaccine roll out in human history.

When you partner with ESCATEC on a design project you will immediately benefit from our 40 strong engineering team based in Switzerland.
Our engineers are grouped into two highly competent teams with decades of experience between them. The first focuses on Design & Development while the second team focuses on NPI and product lifecycle management. The engagement and mix of engineers in any given programme are determined by the functional needs of the customer.
Effective project management is extremely important due to the technical services we offer. Project Managers are assigned based on their specific talents and experience; ranging from the development of complex medical devices according to ISO13485 standards to industrialisation of new products across a range of market segments.

Typically our Project Managers concentrate on one project at a time, which can range from several weeks through to a year. This level of focus enables them to fully immerse themself in each assignment and thereby build trust and a strong relationship with the customer.
To be successful, Project Managers must possess critical leadership, planning, and communication skills, they also need to be able to inspire teamwork and commitment in multi-disciplinary team members, and be knowledgeable about risk minimisation strategies in order to strike an effective balance between all stakeholders i.e. the customer, suppliers, employees and management.

How medical device developers can work with EMS providers for better New Product Introductions.
A typical MOEMS project at ESCATEC begins with a conceptual design and evolves through various phases until a robust production process and product is achieved.
We have demonstrable experience of delivering microelectronic services across several market applications, including micro-displays for military use, 3D Time Of Flight (TOF) cameras for measurement and space applications, highly efficient light engines, micro-assembly and miniaturisation for automotive pressure sensors and hearing aids, and highly precise light modules for ophthalmology use.
When designing an optimised microelectronic device one of the most important factors for robust functionality is a stable production process. This is where ESCATEC’s expertise as an integrated EMS service provider gives customers a competitive advantage.
ESCATEC’s MOEMS capabilities involve integrating two major technologies: micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and micro-optics.
MEMS is applied for device miniaturisation and has a wide range of applications in sensors, actuators, robotics, accelerometers, microvalves, flow controllers, GPS systems, and component miniaturisation. Market applications include use in space, air, land and sea vehicles, as well as industrial, biotechnology, and consumer electronics.
We take pride in solving our customers’ challenges. It drives us to continually improve and enhance our capabilities and is why our customers value us as a key strategic partner.
Taking this a step further, MOEMS involves integrating MEMS and the ability to manipulate optical signals on a very small scale (micro-optics) as a structured process in batch processing similar to integrated circuits and using micro-machining.
At the production level, MOEMS technology is used to fabricate a wide variety of hi-tech devices such as optical switches, optical cross-connect, tuneable VCSEL, and microbolometers, using materials like silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and gallium arsenide.
