Based in Switzerland, DYCONEX AG is one of the world’s leading providers of miniaturized, highly complex and highly reliable solutions in the area of interconnect technology. The company has its seeds in a 1964 founded division within Oerlikon-Contraves and acts as DYCONEX since a management buy-out in 1991. As one of the true pioneers in the industry, DYCONEX has continuously applied the latest technology to derive innovative technologies for various markets.
DYCONEX provides a competitive edge for your business through its high-end interconnect expertise and is an extremely reliable and predictable partner who can deliver products and services with premium quality.
Due to long-term dedication and expertise, DYCONEX has earned a solid reputation for being a technology leader and the partner of choice for providing leading flex, rigid-flex and rigid ultra-HDI/microvia circuit boards, LCP and chip packaging solutions - custom tailored to the corresponding requirements. The company offers all the technological prerequisites needed to implement the most challenging solutions, and among them are ultra-fine structures, ultra-thin base materials, thin film technology, stacked and filled holes, biocompatible materials, embedded components, as well as the latest high performance base materials.
State-of-the-art manufacturing and inspection systems, a high level of automation plus a flexible manufacturing processes allow to produce circuit boards with the highest possible connection density.
Manufacturing processes at DYCONEX are completely integrated into a manufacturing execution system (MES). Materials and processes are 100 percent traceable. The company is ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and EN 9100 certified.
DYCONEX is located in Bassersdorf, roughly 10 minutes from the Zurich/Kloten airport. The firm has total floor space of more than 6'000 m2, of which 600 m2 are a Class 10'000 cleanroom. The company currently has approximately 190 employees.
