What this episode covers

Carsten Ellermeier, CEO and owner of Deltec Group, explains how he acquired the German EMS company out of insolvency in late 2024 and has since diversified its revenue away from automotive passenger cars to reduce concentration risk. He details Deltec's strategic shift toward vertical integration, including a new partnership with Panasonic for guided manual assembly and the acquisition of a former Circor facility in Tunisia for wire harness and plastic injection capabilities. Ellermeier also discusses the current supply chain pressures regarding PCB laminate and tantalum capacitors, emphasizing transparent forecasting and hard-but-fair relationships with suppliers like Shengyi and King Board to maintain stability.

    CircuitHub, 12 Years Later with Andrew Seddon

    Andrew Seddon, founder and CEO of CircuitHub, explains how the company evolved from a failed EDA library startup into a vertically integrated, high-mix domestic electronics manufacturer. He details their ground-up rethink of assembly processes, inspired by semiconductor fabs, to handle 50,000+ part SKUs efficiently without forcing design standardization. Seddon discusses the operational challenges of attrition, the strategic shift toward on-demand small-batch production, and the impact of tariffs and reshoring trends on US manufacturing capacity.
