Contract Electronics Manufacturing Services
BitBox are a world-class Contract Electronics Manufacturer, based in the UK.
If you’re looking for the communication and support level of a local partner with all the capability of a global supplier, you came to the right place. From design and specification to manufacture and compliance, BitBox has all the expertise you need, under one roof – straight from our leading-edge facilities in Hampshire.

Quality isn’t optional. It’s obligatory.
We believe that working with a third party for electronic manufacturing services should always result in a first class service. This is exactly what we deliver for our customers - time and time again.
So, if you’re suffering from poor quality in your electronics component supply chain, don’t wait to break the cycle. It’s easy to switch to BitBox, so let’s discuss your project requirements today.
A proven, safe and value-led manufacturing process to get your product to market, fast.
At BitBox, we have specialised knowledge and experience in electronic manufacturing processes. Our Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly expertise includes sensors, power management systems, gateways, PLCs, microcontrollers, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, lighting management systems and more.
The success of our projects is underpinned by:
Our Approach
We combine creative problem solving with rigorous engineering expertise - applying financial discipline, speed and meticulous attention to detail throughout.
Quality Assurance
Our Process
Our tried and tested processes and approach to continuous improvement result in consistency at every turn for our customers, ensuring peace of mind by formally documenting every process and procedure in our ISO 9000 quality management system.
Aftercare
Aftercare is an integral part of our service - as is open, honest and friendly communication. Our dedicated customer care team ensure all your aftercare needs are met.

Managing your supply chain at scale.
Assuming responsibility for production quality and reliability is a huge part of our contract electronics manufacturing service – but it doesn’t end there. We have the capability to quickly ramp up or down production to meet changing market demand, as well as providing additional manufacturing capacity, should your in-house production reach its limit.

Box Build
Products your customers will use with pride.
To give you peace of mind and absolute confidence in every electronic product your customers receive, we offer a Box Build service that can include a final product test. Many products that the BitBox electronics design and manufacturing team deliver are a part of a bigger system and not just a PCB. As a result, we have become the partner to many customers that rely on our team for the complete manufacture of distribution-ready products.
System Test
Performance and reliability without fail.
As a part of our commitment to quality, we are able to take your product, whether a full box build or an assembled PCB, and test it. For some products this might be using a ‘Bed of Nails’ approach, for other products, this could be a full test jig to replicate final use.
However it is done, our desire is to deliver electronic products that exceed your expectations.
Supply Chain
Experience and expertise at every stage.
BitBox is an experienced Electronic Manufacturing Supply Chain partner that delivers high-quality, cost-effective electronics products. We cover the entire product lifecycle, from design to sales distribution, and value partnerships that benefit both parties. Our team of electronics and software engineers, manufacturers, assemblers, and inspectors is committed to delivering quality. We use modern MRP systems to ensure reliable, on-time delivery of products that meet customer demands.
Manufacturing Plant
Cutting-edge technology and talent.
One of the primary differences between PCB manufacturers is their production line. However, it is not just about having the most recent model, but about how it is used. BitBox invests in both its equipment and its staff to ensure that only the right skills and technologies are used to suit the demands of each job.

Frequently asked questions
We are struggling to source components for your product(s). How can BitBox help us?
We are well aware of the global component shortage issue and are fully prepared to deal with problem parts. We have a great team of design engineers and procurement specialists who can work together to evaluate your product needs and provide a solution.
We will review what your existing component specifications are and redesign or specify a suitable alternative, if required. In tandem, as soon as our engineers have specified the alternative component(s), our procurement team will source these immediately to provide you with appropriate stock for as long as needed.
Can I place an annual order and have call-offs? When do they need to be taken by?
Absolutely! With component availability expected to remain an issue, doing so is very wise and can often be the reason for a consistent supply of your product. BitBox will work with you to understand your needs and expected demand and come up with the best solution.
Can we free-issue parts to you?
You can. When a customer free-issues parts to BitBox, our MRP system treats the customer as a supplier and generates a zero-value purchase order. This allows our goods in & fulfilment team to accurately control your stock as it enters the building all the way through to leaving the building as part of your finished product.
What lead times can we expect from BitBox?
At the point in which an order is received (or often before), the first step is always to understand your requirements and when you would like to take delivery. We will then work alongside our purchasing and planning team to see what needs to be done to satisfy your request. Many variables make this a nearly impossible question to answer, but we don't like saying "we can't" so we will always do whatever we can to satisfy all delivery requests.
How often will you communicate with us about our order?
We understand your needs as part of our customer onboarding process and can communicate as often (or as little) as you'd like us to. Ultimately, we take guidance on how often you'd like communication to be. Most customers like to take us up on our offer of pre-arranged meetings (typically weekly, fortnightly or monthly) to discuss current orders, outstanding requests, general progress, issues etc.
What additional electronics manufacturing services can you offer?
BitBox offer a comprehensive range of contract electronics services including: electronics and software design, regulatory approvals and compliance support, BoM management, inventory management, obsolescence management and a full range of procurement solutions to name a few!.
