Component Manufacturing

Finding the right manufacturing setup for each stage of a product’s lifecycle can be complex. Early development phases require flexible processes, rapid iteration and the ability to adapt, while series and mass production require reliable suppliers, documented processes and effective quality management.

At LM Projects, we simplify this process. As your manufacturing partner, we manage a global network of specialised suppliers and match your project with the appropriate manufacturing technology. 

Our Manufacturing Capabilities

We provide contract manufacturing, giving you production-ready components through a single point of contact. We help bridge the gap between your requirements for quality, documentation and communication and global manufacturing capacity.

1. Electronics Manufacturing (EMS)

We manage electronics manufacturing and the assembly of fully populated printed circuit boards (PCBAs) using both surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole technology (THT). We also provide post-processing services, which may include firmware programming, potting for demanding environments and functional testing (FCT) to reduce the risk of defects in the finished product.
  • Core capabilities: SMT and THT assembly, In-Circuit Test (ICT), potting and functional testing

2. Mechanical Manufacturing: Plastic and Metal

We manufacture precision enclosures and metal parts for a wide range of applications. We manage the mechanical manufacturing process and advise on material selection, production methods, tooling economics and more.
  • Core capabilities: Plastic injection moulding, CNC machining, aluminium die casting and sheet metal fabrication.

3. Box-Build and System Integration

We integrate electronics, mechanical components, cables, accessories and packaging into a finished, sales-ready product. This can include sub-assemblies, complete turnkey solutions, internal wiring, final packaging and the handling of manuals or other documentation.

  • Core capabilities: Sub-assembly, system integration, turnkey solutions, final packaging and logistics.

4. Prototyping

Validate your design, functionality and material selection before investing in production tooling and larger manufacturing runs. We provide prototype manufacturing using methods suited to the early development phase, bridging the gap between CAD design, test components and final series production.

  • Core capabilities: vacuum casting, low-volume CNC machining, simple tooling solutions, proof of concept (PoC) and logistics.

Why a Technology-Independent Approach Makes a Difference

Because LM Projects operates as a manufacturing partner and manages a network of suppliers, we can provide access to a wide range of technologies through our network of proven manufacturing partners.

This allows us to adapt the solution to your product’s development stage, production volume, material requirements and economics.

  • Flexible volumes: Start with CNC machining for smaller production runs to avoid early tooling costs, then transition to plastic injection moulding when volumes and the business case justify mass production.
  • Material flexibility: We source the materials and components specified in your parts list or BOM (Bill of Materials) without being restricted to specific material technologies.
  • Risk reduction: Gain access to a global supply chain without having to manage all supplier relationships, coordination and follow-up yourself. We take responsibility for quality, communication and progress throughout the process.

Consolidated Quality Assurance

When you consolidate your component manufacturing with LM Projects, you also centralise quality assurance.

  • Quality management: Clear quality management principles help ensure consistency across production batches, technologies and suppliers.
  • A single point of contact: We manage the interfaces between different components and manufacturing partners, removing the need for you to coordinate directly with multiple international suppliers.
  • Proactive problem-solving: If unforeseen challenges, deviations or quality claims arise, we manage them efficiently and transparently in close dialogue with you, ensuring that you remain informed and involved in the solution.
Risk mitigation

Scalability: From 1 to More Than 10,000 Units

Our model scales with you from the early development of a minimum viable product (MVP) through to supply chain optimisation for larger production volumes.
