India-based contract manufacturer for mechanical and electrical components
Frigate is a contract manufacturer based in Munich with operations in India, handling precision machining, sheet metal, casting, and electrical assembly. The tech stack—Python, React, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS—suggests a software-first approach to supply-chain visibility and order management, atypical for traditional manufacturing. Hiring pressure centers on sales (5 open roles) rather than production, indicating a scaling playbook around customer acquisition and sourcing partnerships rather than factory floor expansion.
Frigate operates as a contract manufacturer specializing in both mechanical components (machining, sheet metal, casting, plastics) and electrical assemblies (cables, transformers, wiring harnesses, capacitors). The company positions itself as a China-plus-one alternative for global OEMs and as a localization partner for Indian brands seeking to reduce Chinese supply-chain dependency. Core service lines include FFP (precision machining with 5–10 day turnaround), FFS (managed sourcing and project execution), and import localization. The proprietary FAQS quality system documents every process and enforces quality gates before shipment.
