The story

Melecs was founded as an electronics manufacturing services (E2MS) partner for premium European automotive OEMs and home appliance manufacturers, providing end-to-end electronics development and production. Over 25+ years it expanded from a single Austrian site to a three-continent manufacturing footprint (Austria, Hungary, China). Its financial complexity is driven by multi-currency supplier and customer contracts across 80+ countries, leading it to adopt FX hedging via Convera. It does not offer financial products to third parties and has no embedded finance product layer.
