Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) is expanding integrated services within Zuken’s eCADSTAR platform

Yokohama, Japan / Łódź, Poland, December 10, 2025 – Zuken, a global leader in electronic design automation (EDA), and Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME), one of the world’s leading distributors of electronic parts, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the value of Zuken’s eCADSTAR PCB design platform. The integration brings real-time access to component availability, pricing, and ready-to-use EDA models directly into the eCADSTAR environment—giving engineers faster, smarter, and more connected design workflows. The agreement is also applicable to Zuken’s classic CADSTAR platform, extending the same real-time component data benefits to existing CADSTAR users.

With this collaboration, eCADSTAR users now benefit from direct access to TME’s live inventory and pricing data through an embedded web portal within the design interface. This means engineers can instantly verify part availability and cost during the design phase, helping them make informed, sourcing-aware decisions without ever leaving their schematic or PCB layout.

In addition to real-time procurement data, the integration includes automatic delivery of verified EDA models—symbols, footprints, and 3D models—powered by SamacSys. This eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone task of manually building or sourcing component libraries, allowing design teams to focus on what truly matters: innovation and functionality.

“Integrating TME’s rich component data into eCADSTAR transforms how engineers approach component selection,” said Jeroen Leinders, eCADSTAR Business Manager, Europe at Zuken. “This partnership bridges the gap between design and sourcing, reducing design rework and accelerating time-to-market.”

“Our collaboration with Zuken reflects TME’s mission to support engineers with accurate, accessible information,” added Kacper Jerczyński, Business Connections Development Specialist at TME. “eCADSTAR users now have a trusted resource for reliable component data at their fingertips, fully aligned with their design tools.”

By embedding real-time supply chain intelligence into the eCADSTAR design flow, Zuken and TME are creating a smarter PCB design experience—one that simplifies sourcing decisions, boosts design confidence, and ultimately reduces the risk of costly redesigns due to obsolete or unavailable parts.
