Focus on PCB 2026 – Meet the exhibitors: Effegi Elettronica
Ahead of Focus on PCB 2026, we take a closer look at the key players in the next edition.
This time, we spoke with Gabriele Taverna, Sales and Operations Manager at Effegi Elettronica, and Lorenzo Taverna, Program Manager, who shared what participating at the show in Vicenza means and the company’s perspective on the challenges and opportunities shaping the PCB industry.
1. Effegi Elettronica stands out for its integrated approach, covering PCB design, rapid prototyping, and full-scale contract manufacturing. How does this end-to-end model and your focus on process innovation help customers reduce development time and improve product quality and reliability, and which aspects of this approach will you be showcasing at Focus on PCB 2026?
Effegi Elettronica operates as a full-service EMS provider, covering the entire electronic value chain — from PCBA design and industrialization to rapid prototyping, series production, and testing.
This integrated approach allows customers to significantly reduce development timelines and industrial risks, as key decisions are validated from the earliest stages with manufacturability, supply chain efficiency, and long-term reliability in mind.
Process innovation plays a central role. The close integration between engineering, component management, prototyping, and production enables us to anticipate potential issues related to BOM, layout, testability, and manufacturing cycles — avoiding rework and shortening time-to-market.
Moreover, advanced technologies combined with consolidated know-how ensure high quality standards and process repeatability, which are critical in high-reliability sectors.
At Focus on PCB 2026, we will highlight our ability to support customers throughout the entire electronic product lifecycle, demonstrating how an integrated EMS partner can act as a development partner — not just a manufacturing supplier.
2. What convinced you to take part in Focus on PCB 2026, and what opportunities does this event offer compared to others?
Focus on PCB is a highly specialized and vertically focused exhibition, placing PCB design, industrialization, and manufacturing at the center of attention.
For Effegi, participation is strategic because it allows direct interaction with designers, OEMs, and system integrators looking for industrial partners capable of supporting both prototyping and production.
Compared to broader electronics trade shows, this event provides a more technical and targeted environment, fostering qualified discussions and concrete collaboration opportunities.
It is also an opportunity to strengthen our positioning as a European EMS partner focused on quality, production flexibility, and local supply chain management — increasingly important factors in today’s unstable global landscape.
3. From your perspective, what technological innovations or challenges are shaping the future of the PCB industry, and how is your company addressing these changes?
The PCB and industrial electronics sector is undergoing profound transformation.
Key technological trends include:
- Increasing PCB complexity, with ever-higher functional integration
- Stricter reliability requirements in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors
- Digitalization and traceability of manufacturing processes
- Supply chain resilience and regionalization of production
In this context, EMS providers are evolving from simple assemblers into technology partners capable of supporting design, industrialization, and full lifecycle management of electronic products.
Effegi addresses these changes by investing in automation, process control, engineering expertise, and production flexibility — ensuring quality, repeatability, and responsiveness even in complex and rapidly changing market scenarios.
