GomSpace has entered into a strategic supply agreement with Danish electronics manufacturer NECAS to strengthen its production scalability for products and subsystems, and to reduce lead times amid increasing global demand for satellites and satellite subsystems.
The agreement supports GomSpace’s commercial growth strategy and recent contract wins, including the 19.5 million euros agreement announced last week for the delivery of 18 satellites to a European technology company.
While GomSpace will continue manufacturing at its own facility, NECAS will serve as a dedicated partner for volume production of selected products and subsystems. The agreement is effective immediately, and the first orders have already been placed.
For clarity, GomSpace emphasizes that this agreement applies exclusively to products and subsystems. All satellite assembly, integration, and testing will continue to be performed in-house at GomSpace’s advanced satellite assembly facilities at its headquarters in Aalborg, Denmark. These facilities, among the largest in Northern Europe, are designed to support high-throughput production, with the capacity to build and integrate up to one satellite per day.
The global satellite market is scaling rapidly, and demand is not only growing—it’s evolving,” said Carsten Drachmann, CEO of GomSpace. “Customers today expect faster time-to-orbit, and as our order book grows across all business units, the ability to deliver reliably at scale becomes a key competitive advantage. To meet these expectations, we are expanding production through a trusted partner. NECAS brings experience in high-quality electronics and has previously delivered for us. By outsourcing the production of standardized components, we can increase throughput while focusing our internal resources on more complex systems. This setup is instrumental in fulfilling major contracts such as the recently announced 19.5 MEUR order for 18 satellites—our largest to date.”
Peter Ladefoged, CEO of NECAS, said, “GomSpace’s products are now mature enough to support scalable production. We are proud to serve as a long-term partner, helping ensure timely delivery and quality at scale. This agreement is a significant step in expanding Denmark’s role in the global space supply chain.”
