The Hidden Costs of a Fragmented Supply Chain: Protronix Featured in Electropages

Managing multiple suppliers for bare boards, components, and electro-mechanical box builds is draining engineering time and destroying production schedules across the UK.

Our Managing Director, Stuart Clark, recently wrote an exclusive feature for the May 2026 edition of Electropages, breaking down why OEMs must shift away from acting as their own project managers and partner with ‘True Turnkey’ EMS providers instead.

In the feature, we discuss:

  • Unified Procurement: Sourcing authorised components and navigating obsolescence.

  • Engineering Oversight: Catching footprint errors early with rigorous Design for Manufacture (DFM) reviews.

  • The ‘Final Mile’: Why conformal coating, firmware configuration, and final functional testing must happen under one roof.

Read the full feature on page 18 of the May Edition of Electropages.
