Proto-Electronics is a French company, specializing in the rapid, high-quality prototyping of assembled printed circuit boards. With the creation of its online platform www.proto-electronics.com, the goal was to reduce prototype production times which took several weeks and enable companies to accelerate their time-to-market. The company was the first in France at this time to rethink the activity of prototyping assembled PCBs, to offer a fully automated quotation service with a response time of less than ten minutes and a production lead time of 5 days. Today, the platform is well-known throughout Europe (with a delivery to over 26 countries), and mobilizes more than 18000 prototype designers.
