Focus on PCB 2026 – Meet the exhibitors: TLT PCB
Ahead of Focus on PCB 2026, we take a closer look at the key players in the next edition.
This time, we spoke with Vytautas Ilgunas, Chief Commercial Officer of TLT PCB, 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. With your new 33,000 m² Vilnius facility — the first of its kind in the EU in the last 20 years — TLT Manufacturing has significantly expanded its integrated PCB and EMS capabilities. How does this state-of-the-art facility enhance your ability to serve clients across industries, and how are you setting new benchmarks for production capacity and efficiency?
This is not an upgrade. It is a reset of European PCB manufacturing. Our 33,000 m² greenfield factory was built for automation, scalability and long-term resilience. We are creating modern PCB capacity inside the EU for industrial, defence and AI hardware customers. Europe needs infrastructure, not declarations. We built one.
2. What convinced you to participate in Focus on PCB 2026, and what opportunities does this event offer compared to others?
We are not coming just to exhibit. We are coming to engage. Focus on PCB is one of the few platforms fully dedicated to fabrication. If Europe wants to rebuild electronics manufacturing strength, this is where the discussion must happen.
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?
AI is not only software. AI runs on hardware. Advanced multilayer PCBs, power density and process control are becoming strategic assets. Chips do not float. Hardware must be manufactured somewhere. We believe it should be manufactured in Europe.
