Over the years, ELVIA PCB has built a unique and wide range of high-grade PCB technologies including rigid, flex-rigid, multi-layer and hyper-frequency boards. This large offer allows the company to provide excellence and security in its customers' strategic programmes in the aerospace and defence sectors in a timely manner. ELVIA PCB also addresses other markets with its interconnection and telecom antenna products. The group's industrial strategy is based on constant innovation and investment in technological research in close collaboration with the customer. This enables ELVIA PCB to offer highly customised products and to anticipate the new constraints and technological challenges of the various sectors. In 2020, ELVIA PCB was awarded by France Relance for several modernization and innovation technological programs. Through its 5 production sites in France and over 450 highly skilled employees, ELVIA PCB serves over 200 clients globally.
Over the past 30 years, Bruno Cassin – President and controlling shareholder – has successfully led the group, bringing ELVIA PCB to the highest industry standards and diversifying the activity on new applications, specific technologies, and niche markets.
The transaction remains subject to satisfaction of customary signing and closing conditions, and the parties expect to close during the first half of 2022.
"This project is an excellent opportunity for our employees and our customers. The group, strengthened by the financial power of Tikehau Ace Capital and led by the management team in place, in whom I have great confidence, will be able to propel itself as the reference player in the high-tech PCB industry in Europe," says Bruno Cassin, President & CEO of Elvia.

A Less Expensive Defense and Aerospace PCB Fab Startup
08/20/2024 | Alex Stepinski, Stepinski GroupEditor’s note: Investing in a new printed circuit board fabrication startup is not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet. Standing up a new “high-tech” PCB fab facility capable of becoming qualified for aerospace and defense work typically takes a minimum investment of $50 million. However, Alex Stepinski says entering the defense and aerospace markets with a new PCB fabrication start-up facility far under this prohibitive cost benchmark is possible when good partnerships, innovation, and sound engineering design enter from the beginning. In this article, Alex Stepinski outlines just how this can be achieved.
