Variscite is pleased to announce a significant partnership with Grossenbacher Systeme AG, a DACH-based company with subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic who specializes in Electronic Engineering & Manufacturing Services (EEMS), focusing on industrial embedded systems such as control systems, display systems, and medical electronics. The main goal of this partnership is to harness the advantages of the System on Module technology and to provide complete system support for companies who develop ARM-based devices; from the early concept stage, through custom hardware and software design, up to successful mass production.
Variscite is expanding its business activity in the DACH market (Germany, Switzerland and Austria) by establishing a local subsidiary in Germany, Variscite GmbH and upgrading its website and other marketing assets to support the local needs. The partnership with Grossenbacher Systeme AG is an additional step in the overall course of the company in the DACH region.
Grossenbacher Systeme AG’s customers in the embedded solutions, controllers and display systems markets will benefit from accelerated hardware development of their own system around Variscite SoM solutions which will further shorten time-to-market and lower overall system development costs and risks, while benefit from local support for the entire process of system design and integration of their customized platform.
“We are pleased to take the partnership with Variscite to the next level, especially since we have already carried out many successful projects based on Variscite’s products and brought them to mass production. In addition, we have a positive common history with Variscite GmbH management. Therefore, we believe in the potential of this partnership”, says Oliver Roth, Managing Director of Grossenbacher Systeme AG.
Markus Steidl, Managing Director Sales and Marketing of Variscite GmbH, adds: “Along with the opening of our new Variscite GmbH subsidiary in Germany, the cooperation with Grossenbacher is yet another step in building our local presence and ecosystem in the DACH region, aiming to provide Variscite’s customers the best system solution around our leading SoM products”.

As AI-driven demand accelerated through 2025, memory chip shortages developed as semiconductor manufacturers shifted capacity to large-volume buyers, leaving many sectors, including medical, industrial, edge/IoT, and robotics poorly served. Climbing prices and lengthening lead times, exacerbated by knock-on effects across other SoM components, have created two clear pressure points. SoM vendors relying on outsourced manufacturing have limited flexibility when availability drops, leaving customers facing the same delays. Separately, product developers who chose chip-down architectures over SoM-based designs must procure components on their own. Those buying in smaller quantities are routinely pushed down supplier priority lists, and in many cases cannot get supply at all.
