NCAB Group has acquired the German db electronic, based in Waldshut-Tiengen in southern Germany, the db electronic AG in Switzerland and the db electronic SAS in France. The three companies will be consolidated into NCAB Group.

The acquisition is expected to be Earnings accretive for the NCAB Group in 2023. Synergy effects are expected to arise in the areas of suppliers, payment terms and logistics.
Benjamin Klingenberg, VP of NCAB’s Segment Europe:
“db electronic complements our European operations well and will provide cross-selling opportunities. Being able to provide our customers with fast deliveries of small series is particularly valuable when it comes to product development and prototypes. db electronic will therefore also be able to provide NCAB’s customers with new opportunities. Gaining access to new factory partners in South Korea is also very attractive to us and our customers.”
Daniel Böck, CEO of the db electronic group:
“I am very pleased to have come across this ideal symbiosis with NCAB when realigning the strategy of db electronic.
