Zaptec Expands: New Manufacturing Partner in Germany
To support growth and reduce risks related to capacity and the component market, Zaptec is expanding its operations by partnering with Sanmina Corporation in Germany as a second manufacturing partner for electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
Expanding Production Capacity in Norway
Zaptec’s primary manufacturing partner in Norway, Westcontrol, is increasing its capacity with new facilities and production lines to meet the rising demand for EV chargers.
Partnership with a Global Electronics Leader
Sanmina is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electronic equipment. With strategically located production sites, Zaptec can support its growth in Europe and the United States while reducing CO₂ emissions from transportation.
More Efficient Global Distribution
With Westcontrol in Norway and Sanmina in central Germany, Zaptec can distribute high-quality EV chargers more efficiently worldwide.
"Germany is renowned for its quality and efficiency. Moreover, it is the largest market in Europe. A product ‘Made in Germany’ holds significant commercial value in this market." – Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen
Strengthening European Presence
The German factory plays a key role in expanding Zaptec’s presence in Europe while supporting its existing production partner in Norway.
"Sanmina is an international player with production facilities worldwide. This perfectly aligns with our internationalisation strategy." – Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen
