The Benelux Chamber of Commerce Shanghai is delighted to invite you for a factory visit to one of our long-standing members: IPTE.


IPTE Industrial Automation is a global leader in advanced factory automation solutions, engineering future-ready systems that boost efficiency, precision, and scalability in modern electronics manufacturing. Founded in Belgium in 1992, IPTE (Integrated Production and Test Engineering) has grown from a small, specialized engineering firm into a worldwide automation partner with locations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.


Through its Factory Automation division, IPTE develops standard machinery and turnkey automation systems for the production, testing, handling, and final assembly of printed circuit boards and complex electronic products. Its comprehensive portfolio includes cutting-edge solutions for conveying, laser marking, depaneling, component feeding, assembly, and various automated test processes designed to meet the demanding needs of industries such as automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial systems, and more.


IPTE's automation solutions are built for flexibility, precision, and integration into existing production environments, helping manufacturers optimize output, improve quality control, and accelerate digital transformation in their operations. With a strong emphasis on innovation, customer care, and global support, IPTE is recognized as a trusted partner for OEMs and contract manufacturers aiming to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.

The event will start with a short seminar led by a Guest Speaker (TBC) and will be followed by a tour of the factory. During this visit, participants will get a close look at how factory automation works in practice, from how systems are designed to how they run on the production floor. As we walk through the workshops, participants will be able to follow the flow of the processes and talk with the team behind the equipment. Finally, the day will end with a time for discussion and networking, where guests can enjoy Belgian waffles, meatballs, and beers.

The bus will depart from our office at 3.45 PM to arrive at the factory at 4.30 PM, and return to the office at approximately 7:30 PM after the visit.
