TLT Electronics Officially Opens Facility in Vietnam
May 6, 2026 | TLT ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Lithuanian EMS provider TLT Electronics has recently announced the opening of a new facility in Vietnam. For their clients, this is a chance to expand manufacturing into a second region without the headache of onboarding a new supplier. Same team, same processes, same quality standards — still TLT Manufacturing, just on another continent.
Why Vietnam? Proximity to the Asian electronics supply chain means shorter lead times on components and raw materials, competitive input costs, and tariff-advantaged access to Asian markets through Vietnam's free trade agreements (CPTPP, RCEP, EVFTA). For clients serving Asian customers — or diversifying away from single-region risk — this changes the math.
The facility at a glance:
- 6,500 m² production floor
- 2 SMT lines + 2 THT lines
- Laser marking, X-ray inspection, full QC suite
- 60 employees already on board (110 by the end of the year)
- Test production runs successfully completed
At TLT Manufacturing, flexibility has always been a differentiator — adjusting processes around what each client actually needs. With Vietnam now operational alongside the Lithuanian facilities, that flexibility extends to geography itself: manufacture in Europe, in Asia, or split between both, with the benefits each location brings.
