Eltek wins multi-year U.S. defence PCB contract, deepens American footprint

Eltek Ltd. is securing a $12.2 million order from an American defence customer for printed circuit board (PCB) products that are scheduled for delivery throughout 2026 and 2027, the Israel‑based manufacturer says. The company states the boards will be incorporated into a defence project and that the contract supports its strategy to expand its U.S. presence with high value‑added products, a move CEO Eli Yaffe describes as validation of Eltek’s positioning in high‑end defence supply chains.

The order underscores Eltek’s focus on complex, mission‑critical PCB segments — including high‑density interconnect (HDI), multilayer and flex‑rigid boards — where certification and controlled‑goods compliance are critical. Eltek points to its ITAR compliance and aerospace quality accreditations, including AS‑9100 and NADCAP Electronics, as enablers for participation in U.S. defence programmes and for serving prime contractors that require rigorous quality and traceability standards.

Eltek operates R&D, production and marketing from Petach Tikva, Israel, while serving international customers through a North American subsidiary and a network of agents and distributors in Europe, India, South Africa and South America. Management frames the contract as part of a broader effort to grow its U.S. sales of higher margin, technology‑intensive PCB products rather than commodity boards, aligning manufacturing and certification capabilities with defence and aerospace customer requirements.

Certifications and operational footprint

The company highlights decades of experience — founded in 1970 — and says its technology and manufacturing model target high‑end defence, aerospace and medical markets. The press release, distributed via PR Newswire on Feb. 9, 2026 from Petach Tikva, reiterates that publicly provided website information is for reference and not incorporated into the release.

Risks, disclosures and contacts

Eltek cautions that forward‑looking statements are subject to risks including currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Israeli shekel, coronavirus impacts on operations, product and technology development risks, market acceptance and competitive pricing, noting further detail in its Annual Report on Form 20‑F and other SEC filings.
