Eltek wins $12.2M U.S. defense PCB order, deliveries scheduled 2026–2027

Petach Tikva PCB maker secures $12.2 million U.S. defense order

Eltek Ltd. announces a $12.2 million order from an American defense customer for printed circuit board (PCB) products that are scheduled for delivery throughout 2026 and 2027, the company says in a Feb. 9 press release. The boards are to be incorporated into a defence project and involve complex, high-reliability assemblies typical of military applications. The release originates from Petach Tikva, Israel, and is distributed via PR Newswire.

U.S. defense contract reinforces Eltek’s stateside expansion strategy

Eltek’s chief executive, Eli Yaffe, says the win supports the company’s strategic objective to expand its U.S. presence with high value‑added products. The order underscores demand in the defence sector for Eltek’s specialities—high-density interconnect (HDI), multilayer and flex-rigid boards—and leverages the company’s North American subsidiary and distribution network to service U.S. customers. The contract’s multi-year delivery schedule gives Eltek a predictable manufacturing cadence through 2027 and strengthens its positioning with prime contractors and systems integrators working on long-duration defence programmes.

The deal highlights the importance of compliance and advanced manufacturing capabilities in winning defence business. Eltek is ITAR-compliant and holds AS-9100 and NADCAP Electronics certifications, credentials the company presents as essential for participation in sensitive defence supply chains. Production, research and development remain centred in Israel, and the firm says the boards will be produced to standards required by high-end defence and aerospace customers.

Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Petach Tikva, Eltek describes itself as a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced PCBs for defence, aerospace and medical markets, operating through a North American subsidiary and agents and distributors in Europe, India, South Africa and South America. The company emphasises its ability to deliver complex, high-quality electronics that meet strict industry specifications.

Forward-looking caution and investor contacts

The release includes customary forward-looking statements and cautions about risks including currency movements between the U.S. dollar and the Israeli shekel, the impact of the coronavirus on operations, product and technology development risks, market acceptance and competitive pricing, and directs readers to the company’s 20-F and SEC filings for more detail.
