Established in 1993 in the UK we are the Sister Company of Cotas Computer Technology A/S from Denmark. Cotas have for over 20 years specialised in working with strategic partners to provide customised electronics and software expertise to OEM's. We have successfully demonstrated the true meaning of the word "Partnership", having established long term strategic alliances with our partners, enabling them to be more innovative, flexible and add value to their products, while focusing their energy on their own specific business areas.

Our manufacturing facilities incorporate SMD machinery with in line vision inspection, capable of placing all IC footprints including Ball Grid Array IC's. With a base here in the UK and Denmark, Cotas are able to offer a variety of levels of service to our potential partners, and we also have our own EMC testing laboratory. Our unique structure and business approach means we can apply a variety of resource levels and business models to develop your solution. Whichever option you chose we develop the solution together and you only pay for the development cost, if the end result lives up to your specification.
