Why Outsource to us………..
The benefits of outsourcing to ELEK-TECH ELECTRONIC SYTEMS Ltd are far reaching, we have
the ability to react quickly to market change and customer demand with a real focus on our
customers and their needs. This ability to react quickly and the exposure that our professional
designers and developers have had to a wide variety of projects in the advanced technologies
and high reliability designs, means that we are aware of the latest technologies and
capabilities on the market, which can bring a fresh and independent perspective to a project.
This open mind and independent view allows us to suggest new ideas that can enhance the
solution, or reduce the cost of development.
We believe that as business becomes more competitive and engineering development
becomes more project orientated, it’s important to focus on your core-competencies. In this
environment outsourcing to us has many advantages.

Outsourcing is often easier than in-house development
Turn-key development and manufacturing but you still own the design
Avoid capital expenditures
We have our own HW/FW IP Blocks potentially reducing time and cost
Lower operating and overhead costs
Reduce time to market
Free-up valuable internal resource or internal resource is overloaded and deadlines
may be in jeopardy
Take advantage of advanced technology and expertise in a specific area of technology
Concentrate on your core business
You may want to investigate the feasibility of an idea. We can perform a study which
outlines the development costs, recurring costs, and manufacturing costs so that you
can make an informed decision whether to pursue the idea further.
Stay competitive
By using us as your partner you save on overhead, office space, and equipment resources,
thus providing substantially lower development costs. This frees you to pursue your business
interests without having to worry about development efforts.

"Combining Technology
With reliability.”
A Peek into Our Creative
Side………..
We are currently developing the next generation of
COTs rugged, Modular, open architecture small
scalable systems called NanoX, our solutions are
designed to deliver optimal performance in space,
weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) constrained
applications whilst also providing Vita open standard
interfaces.
Our NanoX Payload Modules can be configured to be
a standalone Electronics Payload module or scaled up
to be a Multi-payload Modular System and utilising
our common HW and FW IP Blocks. Which allows the
customer to only purchase the core capability
maximising the customer’s value for money and
allows for accelerated technology development.

ON-SITE CONSULTANCY
We Can Offer On-Site Consultancy...
Due to the diversity of the projects and contracts that we have worked on and delivered successfully our
professional engineering team are exceptionally passionate and exceptionally talented, at an elite level.
We are expected to go into any different companies, or industry or technology, and be able to perform at a
very high level, which is what we do. Due to this wide variety of projects and exposure our professional
engineers and developers have extensive knowledge about the latest technologies and capabilities on the
market, and can bring a fresh perspective to a project.
While many of our customers will have a fairly detailed idea of how a project should pan out, having an open
mind to new ideas suggested by our consultancy could make the final product better, reduce development
costs or reduce schedule duration.
Our team are also privy to other trends that can help improve the design of products. For example, devices are
increasingly being designed with self-test features which can reduce production line costs. Additionally, we are
seeing a shift from stand-alone devices to platforms which can be adapted to different functions.
In addition to getting "the right man for the job" you can often cut costs by reducing or eliminating the need
for engineering staff. Consultancy is not the solution for every project; but you might want to consider
consultancy if...


You need expertise in a specific area of technology
Your existing staff are overloaded and or deadlines may be in jeopardy
You are a small company who needs an engineering capability or team of engineers but can't afford to
hire them full-time
You want to investigate the feasibility of an idea. We can perform a study which outlines the
development costs, recurring costs, and manufacturing costs so that you can make an informed
decision whether to pursue the idea further
What About Security Clearance?
All of our engineers are SC cleared and some DV cleared, so we can quickly get involved in the detail
of your projects ensuring no time is wasted.
