A New Strategic Partnership in Europe

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Marcy LaRont connects with OMR Italia General Manager Sara Menclossi and Connexion Technologies CEO Craig Wright to discuss the new strategic partnership between OMR Italia and Connexion Technologies: a merger between advanced PCB manufacturing and engineering-led PCB sourcing that “connects two very complementary strengths.” What does that mean for the two companies, their customers, and the electronics industry in Europe?

Sara and Craig, congratulations on the exciting partnership. Let’s start with a brief introduction to your company, the services you offer, and the markets (applications) you serve.

Craig Wright: Connexion Technologies is a UK-based advanced manufacturing group focused on high-reliability sectors like aerospace, defence, energy, life sciences, and communications. We cover a wide range of capabilities from advanced PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging through to RF systems, precision engineering, and integrated supply chain support. At our core, we support complex programs where performance, traceability, and long-term reliability really matter.

Sara Menclossi: OMR has been part of the European PCB landscape for over 50 years. Today, we’re focused on engineering-led PCB sourcing, technical support, and supply chain management. We work with carefully selected manufacturing partners across Europe and Asia, managing projects end-to-end through our technical team. That includes supplier selection, engineering support, and quality supervision to ensure consistency and reliability.

Wright: What makes this partnership work is that it connects two very complementary strengths. OMR brings deep PCB expertise. We bring broader advanced manufacturing capability. Together, that’s a powerful combination.
