Douarnenez, France

Located in the heart of Brittany, the Cicor Douarnenez site occupies a strategic place in the industrial landscape of the Group. Specialized in complex professional electronics, the site stands out for a unique positioning: it is classified as a defence confidential site, for access to information, with a restricted regime zone and holds an authorization for the commercialization of war material — an asset in the EMS universe.

The site supports its clients throughout the entire life cycle of an electronic product, from design, product/process industrialization, the manufacturing of electronic boards (IPC A610 class 3 PCBA) and wiring (IPC A620), to complex integration (racks, modules, communicating systems), testing, after-sales service / MRO, and value-added logistics.

Douarnenez stands out for its advanced expertise in radiofrequency and telecoms, the development of functional test benches, as well as obsolescence management, long-term storage, and pre-configuration of complex systems.

The site primarily addresses the markets of defence, naval, civil security, and professional telecommunications (including telecommunications activities related to the railway sector), as well as the medical sector. It also operates in the sectors of high-end audio, transport, robotics, and communicating systems.

Douarnenez has modern and high-end production tools, with:

• Recent SMT lines (2022–2023), 3D SPI, AOI post-reflow
• Selective wave soldering RoHS & lead, Press-fit component placement
• Tests: ICT, Flying Probe, JTAG boundary scan, X-rays
• Climatic chambers and vibration pots for product qualification

Integration is possible from small series (10–100 units) to medium series (up to 10,000 units).

The site is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485 and UL, with a goal of EN 9100 certification by the end of 2025, further strengthening its position in highly demanding markets.

With 111 employees and a surface area of 18,500 m² (to be optimized to 14,500 m² in October 2025), the site benefits from a stable, experienced, and committed team.

Joining the Cicor group has enabled the site to strengthen the trust of customers and prospects, thanks to solid governance, shared standards, and a clear industrial vision.
