EMS Tag will enter its next round in 2026 – with the tailwind of 23 years of industry experience and a clear focus on the business of medium-sized EMS companies in German-speaking countries. Corona, chip crisis, bullwhip effect, volatile markets, supply chain stress and increasing bureaucracy: the EMS industry has had a lot to contend with in recent years. And often almost unnoticed, significant changes have taken place. 

Large EMS companies are growing faster. Some of the smaller ones are disappearing from the market. Succession issues and company acquisitions are becoming increasingly important. Price competition with Asian suppliers is almost impossible to win. What remains – and what is gaining in importance – is differentiation: through processes, service quality, speed and reliability. And through people who are willing to take on responsibility and actively develop their companies.

The EMS Tag has always been aimed at decision-makers from EMS companies. It is a place for exchange on equal terms, for honest discussions and for ideas that prove their worth in everyday business life. In 2026, we will continue to seek practical experience – open, reflective and relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises.
