What we build

Reliable electronics for
industrial applications

NOTE in the UK manufactures electronics for the industrial sector - from motor controls, HVAC systems, and GPS/geodetic equipment to thermal imaging cameras, wireless control systems, and transportation electronics. As a contract electronics manufacturer with ISO 9001 at all six UK sites, and ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 at Windsor, Haddenham, Hook (STI) and Poynton (STI), we deliver durable, long-lifecycle assemblies to IPC-A-610 Class 2 workmanship standards, with DFM and industrialisation support to ensure products are optimised for cost-effective volume production from day one. Across our six UK manufacturing sites, we support the full programme lifecycle: engineering prototypes and NPI builds, production ramp, high-volume serial manufacture, and sustained after-sales support for programmes that run for years or decades. Our NOTE Group network - spanning Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Bulgaria, and China provides additional capacity for customers with European or global supply chain requirements.

Meeting new
machinery rules

The EU Machinery Regulation applies from January 2027. We build to your specification with full traceability, and apply CE marking under your instruction.

03

Scaling without
changing supplier

Six UK sites take you from NPI builds to serial production, with volume overflow and dual sourcing handled in the same partnership.

04

Complex
box builds

High-power components, mixed-technology PCBAs and ruggedised enclosures, integrated and tested to your specification.

How we manufacture

How NOTE builds
industrial electronics

ISO 9001 at all six UK sites, plus ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 at Windsor, Haddenham, Hook (STI) and Poynton (STI), with assemblies built to IPC-A-610 Class 2.

What Our Customers Say

  • Electric Motor Controls

    “NOTE in the UK flagged two DFM issues during NPI that would have cost us significantly at volume. We’ve been with them seven years and that proactive approach hasn’t changed.”
    Head of Procurement,
    Industrial Controls Manufacturer

  • Transportation Electronics

    “We needed a manufacturer who could scale with us across multiple sites without compromising on quality or lead time. NOTE‘s multi-site model gave us the flexibility our programme demanded.”
    Director of Operations,
    Transportation Systems OEM

  • Building & HVAC Systems

    “NOTE‘s DFM review during NPI identified three component placement issues that would have caused field failures. Their engineering input is as valuable as their manufacturing capability.”
    Head of Supply Chain,
    Building Management Systems

Frequently asked questions
Industrial manufacturing

A: NOTE in the UK manufactures electronics for a wide range of industrial applications: electric motor controls, HVAC and building management systems, GPS and geodetic instruments, thermal imaging cameras, wireless control systems, elevator and transport electronics, and agricultural and mining equipment controls. We support both high-complexity low-volume programmes and high-throughput volume production across our six UK sites.

A: All six NOTE in the UK sites are certified to ISO 9001 for quality management. Windsor, Haddenham, Hook (STI) and Poynton (STI) also hold ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. We apply IPC-A-610 Class 2 workmanship standards across all industrial PCBA programmes, with functional test to customer specification, and RoHS/REACH conformity as standard. NOTE in the UK applies CE marking labels under customer instruction - customers retain responsibility for CE certification.

A: Yes. Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) review is part of our standard NPI process. Our engineering team reviews customer designs ahead of first build to identify component placement issues, soldering challenges, test access constraints, and cost optimisation opportunities. This reduces first-pass yield issues and shortens the path from prototype to volume production.

A: Yes. Box build and system integration are led from our Haddenham site, with support from the wider UK network. We take on sub-assembly, cable and wiring installation, enclosure assembly, final functional test, labelling and packing to your specification, so you receive a finished product ready to ship.

A: Industrial equipment often stays in production for many years. We monitor component obsolescence, plan last-time buys with you, source and qualify approved alternatives, and manage end-of-life transitions, alongside repair and after-sales support for products already in the field.
