Your partner for critical electronic assemblies

At QPE, we are proud to support the UK defence industry with high-reliability PCB assembly and electronic manufacturing services. With decades of experience in electronics manufacturing, we deliver robust, mission-critical solutions engineered to meet the demanding requirements of defence applications.

Our capabilities span surface mount (SMT) and through-hole PCB assembly, cable and harness assembly, full box build and functional testing, providing customers with a complete electronics manufacturing service under one roof. From low to medium-volume production, we support defence programmes throughout the product lifecycle – from prototyping and New Product Introduction (NPI) through to full production, repeat manufacture and ongoing lifecycle support.

In defence electronics, quality, consistency and traceability are critical. QPE operates under rigorous process controls, supported by IPC-A-610/620 trained technicians and an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, helping ensure every assembly is manufactured to exacting standards.

We work closely with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across land, air, sea and secure communications programmes, manufacturing electronics for a diverse range of defence and mission-critical applications. These include surveillance equipment, secure video and encryption systems, maritime mission systems, smart body armour technology, optical and rifle sighting systems, compact satellite equipment and other specialist defence electronics.

Our experienced team combines technical expertise with an agile, collaborative approach, allowing us to respond to complex requirements while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers depend on.

Whether you require a small prototype batch, low-volume specialist manufacture or repeat production, QPE provides a trusted UK electronics manufacturing partnership focused on quality, reliability and performance without compromise.
