Strategic EMS Partner Selection and
Production Relocation within
Europe – Fully Implemented.



The right manufacturing structure is not driven by geographical preferences — but by objective analysis.

We support OEMs in evaluating manufacturing locations from an economic, operational and long-term strategic perspective — ranging from local solutions to European alternatives.

Our Service Framework

Strategic Relocation

Incorrectly selected EMS partners in Europe cost OEMs time, margins, and, in the worst case, serial production. EMS Strategy Group identifies, evaluates, and integrates the right manufacturing partner for your product – from in-depth TCO analysis and physical on-site audits in Central and Eastern Europe to ensuring a stable start of production.

Production Architecture

Legacy manufacturing structures are often inefficient and jeopardize the long-term competitiveness of OEMs. EMS Strategy Group develops optimized and future-proof production models – from strategic make-or-buy decisions and site selection to the seamless operational integration of your European partners.

Supply Chain & Material Security

Underestimated material risks in Europe often compromise delivery capabilities and lead to costly production halts. EMS Strategy Group eliminates component dependencies and secures your material pipeline – from BOM risk analysis and obsolescence management to resilient supply structures.

EMS Strategy Group - Strategic Brief
9  July 2026 | EPP – Elektronik Produktion & Prüftechnik

Driven by geopolitical risks, intensifying supply chain pressures, and evolving regulations, a growing number of OEMs are rethinking their manufacturing strategies. This featured article explores the critical factors in relocating electronics production and highlights why structured planning is vital for long-term success.

Strategic Perspectives

Why Manufacturing in Europe is becoming Crucial again

Global supply chains are under increasing pressure. Political uncertainties, complex customs structures, and long transport routes tie up capital and jeopardize planning security. At the same time, requirements for ESG standards, data security, and sustainability are rising.

Those who produce in Europe today gain control over quality, communication, and security. Short distances mean faster decisions, lower risks, and reliable partnerships. European manufacturing stands for transparency, technological sovereignty, and trust in the data that protects your business.

The Myth of the "Impossible" European Supply Chain

Sourcing everything from Europe is unrealistic" – an argument often heard to justify risky dependencies on single-source suppliers.

Yet, the reality of modern electronics manufacturing is more nuanced. It is not about total isolation, but about a well-thought-out supply architecture – utilizing European suppliers wherever possible, and strategically secured global sources wherever necessary. The result is a supply chain that withstands the pressure.
