By producing in its own European facilities, the company said that it was underlining its commitment to quality standards, shorter supply chains, Europe's technological sovereignty, and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
Kontron is the only provider globally to develop and produce 5G modules entirely in Europe. This strategy not only helps to strengthen the company's competitive position but also sustainably promotes Europe’s technological independence. Furthermore, the initiative makes a significant contribution to supply chain stability while creating additional jobs in Europe.
Currently, around 80 percent of the Kontron Group's total value creation already takes place in Europe. The close integration of development and production in Europe is a central aspect of the company’s strategy.
Kontron’s 5G modules are developed entirely at the company’s Berlin site. At a time when the origin and security of technologies are becoming increasingly important, in-house production in Europe also ensures compliance with the strictest European regulations.
Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG, said, “Local development and production offer numerous advantages. Our customers benefit from the quality, speed, flexibility and reliability provided by our European 5G modules production. Our initiative has received a strong response, allowing us to secure several major contracts, which are largely attributed to this value creation strategy.”
