PCB supply under pressure: EVYTRA in the *Handelsblatt*
Rising prices, tight capacity and dependence on Asian production sites are posing challenges for European industry. The *Handelsblatt* addresses this development and also features an interview with EVYTRA’s Managing Director, Pierre Lohrber.
Printed circuit boards are found in almost every electronic product. Their availability is therefore crucial for numerous industrial value chains. In the article “This electronic component is threatening Europe’s industry”, published on 26 October 2026, the *Handelsblatt* describes how high demand from the AI sector is putting pressure on the printed circuit board market. At the same time, Europe lacks the production capacity to offset this dependency in the short term.
With Pierre Lohrber, the report also gives a voice to EVYTRA’s perspective. For the company, the current debate provides an opportunity to emphasise the importance of forward-looking printed circuit board procurement: technical requirements, quality, delivery capability and costs must be considered together.
As a technical procurement partner, EVYTRA supports companies in balancing these factors. The range of services extends from checking PCB data and technical coordination, through quality assurance, to the management of delivery dates and logistics. Continuous monitoring helps to identify delays at an early stage and to explore alternative transport routes. Framework agreements, Kanban and consignment models enable planning tailored to demand.
