Contract Electronic Manufacturing (CEM)
We can offer contract electronic manufacturing services from our Hebden Bridge base
At Zikodrive, we understand that bringing a motor control solution from concept to full production requires more than great design—it demands reliable, consistent, and scalable manufacturing. Our contract manufacturing service is designed to provide exactly that. Whether you need small-batch production, pilot runs, or high-volume manufacturing, we offer a flexible and quality-driven approach that ensures your products are built to the highest standards.
We specialise in the manufacture of motor control electronics and supporting assemblies but these processes and methods can be easily adapted to produce other types of electronics. Every board produced goes through rigorous testing, quality assurance, and traceability processes, giving you confidence that each unit performs exactly as intended. Our production capabilities are ideal for customers looking to outsource manufacturing entirely, streamline their supply chain, or scale up a product following successful prototyping or field trials.
Engineer Led Contract Electronic Manufacturing (CEM)
A key benefit of working with Zikodrive is our engineering-led manufacturing mindset. Because we design and build motor controllers ourselves, we understand the nuances that can influence long-term performance, safety, and reliability. This allows us to anticipate potential issues, refine designs for manufacturability, and ensure every stage—procurement, assembly, programming, testing, and final packaging—is tightly controlled.
We're ISO-9001 accredited and our staff are IPC trained and certified meaning that your requirements are in safe hands. Each production run includes comprehensive in-house testing using automated processes wherever possible. From functional tests and power-stage verification to communication checks, environmental validation, and firmware loading, we ensure each unit meets your specification before leaving our facility. This consistent quality control helps reduce warranty claims, minimise field failures, and ensure your product performs reliably in real-world conditions.
For customers transitioning from prototype to volume production, we offer Design for Manufacture (DFM) support to help optimise BOM costs, improve yields, and streamline processes. Small changes to a design can often result in significant cost reductions or improvements in long-term robustness, and our engineers work closely with you to identify and deliver these benefits.
We also provide full supply chain management, from component sourcing and traceability to obsolescence monitoring and logistics support. This ensures a stable and predictable production flow, even during periods of global component shortages or market volatility.
Whether you’re a start-up launching your first product or an established brand seeking a dependable supplier for ongoing production, partnering with Zikodrive gives you access to a team committed to quality, communication, and long-term success. You’ll benefit from a manufacturer who not only builds your product, but genuinely understands it.
If you’re ready to scale up manufacturing or simply exploring options, contact us to discuss your requirements. We’d be delighted to work with you to create a tailored production solution that supports your growth.
