Leap Development is renowned for its comprehensive expertise in the fields of antenna design, RF technology and embedded software. To support its business activities, the company has a fully equipped ESD-safe development environment and extensive testing infrastructure, including EMC analysis tools and a professional anechoic space (radio silence room) for exceptionally accurate EMC pre-compliance testing. With these facilities, Leap Development offers its clients the opportunity to conduct validations at an early stage of product development. Doing so results in higher reliability and a shorter time-to-market.
Strategic reinforcement
The integration of Leap Development represents a strategic reinforcement of the Demcon organization. It will allow the product development companies within the Demcon group to benefit from additional electronics expertise. It also grants them access to more in-depth RF knowledge and advanced design and testing facilities that offer significant added value in complex system development. The result is an even more powerful multidisciplinary ecosystem for the Demcon group, in which mechanics, mechatronics, electronics, software and systems engineering are brought together in a fully integrated manner.
Expediting innovation
Demcon CEO Dennis Schipper is thrilled about the acquisition of Leap Development, which will henceforth be known as Demcon electronics. “We welcome a unique source of specialist electronics knowledge to our group. The combination of their RF expertise, experience with embedded systems and high-grade testing facilities ties in perfectly with our ambition of offering our clients fully integrated technological solutions. This latest addition to our group not only solidifies our position in the high-tech market, but will also expedite innovation across all our divisions.”
Larger scale and new markets
According to Jur ten Brug, managing director of Demcon electronics, this integration offers enormous technical and organizational potential. “CTO Jan ten Thije, the founder of Leap Development, will continue to chart our organization's technological course with his comprehensive high-frequency and antenna expertise. Together with him, we can further broaden and deepen our range of services. Demcon's scale, multidisciplinary teams and extensive market reach will allow us to utilize our RF and electronics expertise on a much larger scale. This will enable us to tap into new markets and better assist our clients with their complex wireless, embedded and IoT issues.”
