Incap Corporation, a global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider and one of the top EMS companies in Europe, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2025 by strengthening its commitment to community engagement and youth development in the regions where it operates.
Founded in 1985 in Finland, Incap has grown into one of the 25 leading EMS companies in Europe, steadily climbing industry rankings in recent years. Its global operations serve customers across Europe, Asia, and North America. This sustained growth is built on Incap’s lean decentralized organisational model, customer-focused approach, and long-term partnerships in each region where it operates.
Incap’s President and CEO Otto Pukk states that the jubilee year provides a meaningful opportunity to look beyond business performance and invest in long-term initiatives that reflect the company’s values and support the next generation. “We see our 40th anniversary not only as a business milestone but as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the communities that support our growth,” said Pukk. “Whether through education, skills development or youth empowerment, we want to help shape the future of the electronics industry, filled with talent and innovation.”
This year, Incap organised the ‘Incap Legends’ esports event, which brought together world-class players and young talents. The event aimed to inspire youth, build bridges between generations and highlight the opportunities that lie at the intersection of technology, gaming, and future careers. In addition, Incap supported Taitaja, Finland’s largest vocational skills competition, to encourage technical excellence among young electronics professionals, many of whom represent the future of manufacturing and engineering, as well as inspiring programming and robotics tournament Innokas.
Incap’s community efforts also extend to culture and visibility on a regional level. In Estonia, the company became a key supporter of the internationally recognised Saaremaa Opera Days, the largest opera music festival in the Baltics. “Supporting events like this reflects our belief in the role of skills, talent and culture in bringing people together and strengthening local identity,” Pukk added.
Looking ahead, Incap’s focus on talent, adaptability, and long-term collaboration will remain at the core of its operations. These principles have shaped the company’s international growth journey and continue to guide its role as a responsible and forward-thinking partner in the global electronics industry. The company’s 40th anniversary year was officially opened during the Annual General Meeting on 8 May, with the actual founding date falling on 22 August. Throughout the year, Incap’s units around the world will mark the milestone in ways that reflect the values of talent development, community engagement, and lasting impact.

Every time a new tool shows up, half the sales floor panics: “They’re going to automate us out of a job!” This is shouted while doomscrolling LinkedIn. Relax. Sales is still, and will always be, about human connection, trust, and delivering value.
