In this article Latvia-based EMS, Volburg, maps its 30-year history from a small family-owned business to becoming a member of a EUR 50 million manufacturing group.
Volburg is a Latvia-based electronic manufacturing services company, offering PCB and box build assemblies. With nearly 30 years’ experience, the company serves industries including automotive, energy and industrial, employing over 70 skilled professionals.
Founded in 1996, Volburg started as a small family-owned business with a commitment to engineering excellence. The company installed its first SMT line in 1997 and started exporting to Germany and the Nordic countries, regions known for stringent quality standards and advanced technological needs. Gaining ISO 9001 certification in 2005, Volburg positioned itself as a reliable partner for high-quality electronics manufacturing services, facilitating entry into new sectors and countries including the UK.
The move to a new 3,000 m² production facility in 2014 and gaining automotive IATF 16949 certification in 2016 demonstrated Volburg’s commitment to quality output which secured partnerships with large international off-road vehicle manufacturers.
Becoming part of the Swedish Matorex group provides Volburg with enhanced resources, a broader market reach and integrated services through sister companies. The combined revenue of EUR 50 million signifies a robust collective capability which supports larger projects and increases overall competitiveness.
Capabilities include: two SMT lines; two selective soldering lines; wave soldering line; flying probe ICT line; two conformal coating robots and manual processes. Volburg offers SMT, THT assembly, testing, firmware flashing, coating, potting, prototyping, final assembly and packaging.
Operating out of Latvia means Volburg maintains strict adherence to EU standards while offering cost-effective solutions.
