For successful onboarding of new employees and training of current ones, two years ago Teltonika established EMS academy. Equipped with soldering stations, electronic component displays, and training materials from the Institute of Printed Circuits (IPC). the interactive academy classroom goes beyond a simple conference room. Inside the EMS academy, we find the IPC-certified academy trainer Andrej Galin, who shares some insights about courses and academy benefits. Courses offered at the academy Established over two years ago, EMS Academy has successfully created and taught a diverse range of courses. The varied portfolio starts with simple onboarding sessions and includes a 3-day PCB soldering course, IPC basics, more complex THT and SMT training, team leader training, a 5-step course, and others. IPC-A-610 is the most recent course given at the academy for NPI engineers and engineers-technologists. After completing the course, employees receive a certificate, validating their ability to professionally inspect PCB boards both before and after assembly. Growth and re-qualification opportunities The academy allows employees the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. The beginning of a career in the complex electronics manufacturing sector can seem overwhelming. So it is crucial that the employees test it out for themselves without fear of failing. Written-off parts, or PCB boards, are used in the academy so they can be broken down and used for different experiments. The possibilities for requalification are an additional advantage. Andrej shares a story: "Person started working in the box-build position, but after an excursion in the surface mount assembly department, I saw their eyes lit up. They came to me seeking the necessary soldering literature and course. After successfully requalifying, this person soon began working in that area.“ This is a common occurrence; it is not atypical. If the desire is there, we provide employees with the tools they need to requalify or improve their qualifications within the company. Future prospects In the academy, 300 diplomas have been issued, and the courses have been conducted for over 1000 hours. As our project portfolio expands, we are also introducing new services like plastic injection moulding and PCB production. This will lead to a wider range of courses and more re-qualification opportunities for our team members in the future.

We are delighted to announce that our new electronics manufacturing facility has been issued a construction permit. It will be situated next to our current facility in Vilnius. This expansion in our production capabilities will address the growing interest of our contract manufacturing partners. Details about new electronics manufacturing facility The forthcoming Teltonika electronics manufacturing factory will span three floors, covering an area of 22,700 square meters. The end of construction is planned in 2025. The first and second floors will be dedicated to production facilities. It will feature 10 electronics assembly lines, 20 robotic testing lines, 4 packaging lines, a state-of-the-art robotized warehouse, and advanced laboratories. Administrative offices will be situated on the third floor. Notably, the building will be constructed with a steadfast commitment to sustainability, adhering to A++ efficiency standards. Join for diversified manufacturing solutions and strategic location advantages.

We are excited to announce that a construction permit has been granted for the highly automated printed circuit board (PCB) factory in Vilnius, Lithuania. The PCB factory will help to speed up time to market for electronics and shorten the supply chain. Overview of the Factory Project The PCB factory will house manufacturing floor and office spaces over an area larger than 33,000 m2. For production, it will use equipment from Germany, Italy, and Japan. A highly automated factory will employ 250 highly qualified specialists. Our aim is to finish the construction by December 2024, with a projected 15-month construction period. Bringing PCB production back to Europe PCBs are an essential component of electronics. The boards are responsible for the operation of semiconductors and other hardware and software components, making PCB boards a vital component of the electronics manufacturing industry. Despite their importance, the European PCB industry segment's capacities, capabilities, and global market share have significantly decreased over the past 20 years. As a precaution against potential risks, we decide to establish PCB production in Lithuania and grow into a reputable PCB and EMS supplier with a convenient location in Europe. One-stop shop As the factory's construction gets underway, we are eager to offer our partners a one-stop shop solution that includes everything from the basic bare PCB board to project design, assembly, plastic injection moulding, and box building.
