European providers to showcase connected electronics manufacturing at EFX 2026

Four European solution providers—Essemtec, Inventec Performance Chemicals, Kübler-HT, and Paggen—have announced a collaborative partnership for the EFX 2026 trade show in Stuttgart. Under the theme ‘4 European Solution Providers. 1 Connected Experience.’, the group aims to move beyond traditional trade show formats by creating an immersive, live production environment.

The demonstration will showcase an end-to-end electronics manufacturing journey. This connected workflow integrates various technologies, including material management and production scheduling via Essemtec’s Off-line Station, incoming material handling through Arcadia’s Galileo station, and smart storage with the Archimede Gen2 rack.

The assembly process will feature Essemtec’s SPIDER for high-speed solder paste jetting, the FOX Ultra All-in-One for component mounting, and DelviTech’s AI-powered Horus 3D AOI for inspection. The process concludes with Paggen’s HR30 tabletop reflow oven, demonstrating how disparate technologies can function as a single, unified production flow.
