The company

PCB Production

LeitOn stands for a combination of the German word for PCBs, "Leiterplatten" and "Online". Our company was established in 2004. The concept is based on an extended and convenient online calculation for all kind of printed circuits. Special technologies as well as express quick-turn services are available online - mostly Made in Germany. For higher quantities our own staff in China takes care of your mass production printed circuits.

LeitOn currently employs around 20 employees in Berlin, Germany. We offer printed circuit board prototypes in express service up to 24-layer multilayers. A highly qualified CAM-team inspects and optimizes all files intensively before going into production. Our friendly, fast and competent sales team prepares easy-to-read quotations for you, from one prototpye up to call-orders, price-matrix and packages for multiple layouts. If you would like to meet us in Person, you are welcome to visit us Berlin, on a range of exhibitions or at your own facilities.

Mass production are handled by our subsidiary in China with currently around 20 employees: quality manager, project manager, logistics manager, assembly technicians and quality inspection staff. Our direct presence on the Chinese market with a local team assures that quality control and packing requirements are implemented according to German standards reliably. Personal contact with our suppliers and a team of Chinese technicians, engineers and even a doctor take care of the necessary "guanxi" (chinese for "relationship"). 

What our customers say

From 174 participants in our 2021 quality survey:

  • 99% good to very good availability
  • 99% good to very good response time
  • 98% good to very good order processing/transparency
  • 98% good to very good product range
  • 96% good to very good dependability

"You offer a really good service. Whenever something in the documentation is unclear or there is something wrong with my layout you immediately inform me. This already saved me money. I like that a lot. Yes, I'm a happy customer! :-)" 
Eric Scheer, SIEMENS AG
"You can always reach someone, really perfect!!! We NEVER had quality problems with LeitOn. Therfore, our rating is "very good" all over! ALso the way how surplus-production is handled is exemplary. Many German PCB manufacturers jsut deliver 10% more as a "standard". LeitOn explicitly asks every time, whether additional PCBs are desired. As German supplier, LeitOn is our number one."
Mathias Berger, Global Components GmbH
"If it happens that something is not available online, you get a very fast. You always receive competent replies about feasibility and advice for your layout preparation. Very little delays, and if, you always get informed."
Stephan Badur, Stefan Badur Electronic
"Quotations always arrive within maximum 1 to 3 hours, while competitors often need 3 days. Requests for stencil or panel files are handled quickly. The online ordering forms are very well arranged."
Franz-Josef Rebbe, COMPRION GmbH
"I received a call because of some irregularities in my layout. This way an otherwise expensive "fail" was avoided. Perfect!!"
Carsten Schilling
"We had some text in our solder mash that was overlapping with some traces. We were informed that this may cause problems later. LeitOn direclty corrected the layout so no time was lost."
Reinhard Enne, Technische Universität Wien
"If you can produce it, the CAM department will take care of it without insisting on formal design rules (DRC)"
Ulrich Heinze, MT.DERM GmbH
"There has never been anything late."
Theo Wolf, EuroSync GmbH

History

2021 LeitOn becomes climate neutral

LeitOn becomes climate neutral - since 2021 we have been offsetting the CO2 emissions of all printed circuit boards we supply. This includes not only the electricity consumption, but also the CO2 emissions of the necessary raw materials such as copper, epoxy and fiberglass. Of course, transport should not be forgotten either...
