Explore our export-certified product lines designed for high-vibration, sub-zero Nordic environments, harsh chemical sanitization, and heavy industrial use. Custom engineered with full technical drawings and fast prototyping.
Tampere represents the epicenter of Northern European mechanical engineering, mobile hydraulics, and smart automation. From intelligent underground mining drills to forestry harvesters and life science diagnostics, standard off-the-shelf control panels fail prematurely when exposed to Finnish winters and high-pressure washdowns. Here is how our custom OEM/ODM solutions solve mission-critical application challenges across the Pirkanmaa region.
Heavy machinery operating in Finnish timberlands and quarrying environments endures severe cyclical freeze-thaw stress, hydraulic fluid splatters, continuous multi-axis vibration, and operators wearing thick insulated work gloves. Standard commercial capacitive screens fail or false-trigger under slush and ice.
Our engineered solutions incorporate custom snap-acting stainless steel domes (providing 400g to 600g tactile activation), embossed perimeter rims for non-visual finger location, and UV-stabilized Autotex XE polyester films. Gasketing with closed-cell acrylic foam adhesives (3M 467MP / 300LSE) guarantees total hermetic sealing under IP67 submersion.
The biomedical and life-science instrumentation clusters around Tampere University and Kauppi Science Park demand Human-Machine Interfaces that withstand hospital-grade disinfectants, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), chlorhexidine, and hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization without clouding or delaminating.
We supply anti-microbial textured polyester graphic overlays backed by sub-surface digital UV and silkscreen printing. With no surface crevices or mechanical key apertures, the completely flush flat membrane design prevents biological contaminants from lodging between keys, supporting IP65/IP66 sterile wipedowns.
With Pirkanmaa leading IoT-enabled smart logistics, port cargo automation, and specialized marine propulsion controls, interface panels must resist continuous salt mist exposure, electromagnetic interference (EMI) from heavy frequency inverters, and high condensation levels.
We manufacture solid aluminum and FR4 PCB backer-plate assemblies with integrated copper/aluminum EMI shielding layers and printed ESD grids. Selective Light Guide Film (LGF) or embedded low-power SMD LEDs offer crystal-clear visual status indication for operators monitoring dark logistics yards or ship engine compartments.
Selecting the appropriate overlay polymer and circuit carrier dictates whether your HMI maintains mechanical elasticity at -30°C or suffers brittle failure. Compare critical technical specifications before finalizing your BOM.

Procurement teams and electrical systems engineers in Tampere are navigating fundamental shifts in industrial machine controls. Our manufacturing lines are equipped to integrate next-generation user requirements directly into your CAD layouts.
Pure touchscreens are notoriously vulnerable to false actuations under water droplets or slush accumulation. Tampere engineers are rapidly pivoting toward hybrid control designs: marrying capacitive touch surfaces or TFT display screens with rugged physical tactile membrane switches around the perimeter for safety-critical emergency stops, primary drive controls, and menu scrolls.
As industrial machinery incorporates greater sensor density and lower supply voltages, traditional printed silver conductive inks face migration risks under high ambient humidity. OEMs are standardizing on flexible copper polyimide (FPC) circuitry, enabling ultra-tight trace pitches, reliable SMT micro-LED soldering, and vibration-proof gold-plated ZIF connectors.
Scandinavian procurement strictly enforces green procurement mandates. Beyond ensuring all inks, adhesives, and base films meet EU RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, manufacturers demand zero halogens, low-VOC processing, and adhesive materials that do not emit outgassing vapors when enclosed in sealed IP67 instrument enclosures over 10-year operating spans.
Operating continuously since 1990, TAVO Electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd. has specialized exclusively in human-machine interface components. Rather than functioning as a commercial trader, every single process—from CAD outline digitizing, film plotting, and precision screen printing to automated laser cutting, cleanroom laminating, and 100% computerized circuit verification—is conducted directly within our facilities.
Our infrastructure encompasses a primary manufacturing plant in the Robot Industry Port of Xianghe Development Zone (Hebei) and a secondary processing center in Huizhou (Guangdong), totaling over 2,219 m² of verified production floorspace. Both facilities distribute workload dynamically to assure on-time delivery schedules for European export orders.
Audited on-site by Intertek and operating strictly under ISO 9001 quality management protocols, our manufacturing methodology benefits from long-term technical cooperation with a German membrane switch factory—harmonizing our tooling tolerances and visual inspection criteria with European DIN and ISO benchmarks.
Every switch batch is verified through automated computerized circuit analyzers, button life-cycle testers, programmable -40°C/+100°C environmental chambers, and xenon UV aging simulators.
Equipped with 60 CNC mold-making workstations, 37 precision silkscreen printers, 4 Mimaki heat-setting digital UV printers, and 18 high-speed laser cutting units under one roof.
Over 30 senior engineers each holding 15+ years of dedicated membrane switch design experience. Full CAD/CAM format conversion with DFM design optimization feedback in 24 hours.
Dual factories in Hebei and Guangdong protect European supply chains against single-source bottlenecks, maintaining flexible low-MOQ prototyping alongside 1M+ unit bulk runs.
Direct answers covering trade procedures, environmental compliance, technical file inputs, and ingress testing for equipment designers and supply chain executives.
Submit your CAD outlines, artwork sketches, or performance challenges. Our direct manufacturing team will conduct a comprehensive Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) assessment, provide substrate recommendations, and dispatch a transparent factory quotation within 24 hours.
