MGI Digital Technology, ALTIX and CIRLY announce the first industrial order for AltiJet® and the signing of a strategic partnership
A major milestone in the digital transformation of printed circuit board manufacturing
Fresnes, France – 29 July 2026
MGI Digital Technology, through its subsidiary ALTIX, and CIRLY announce the signing of a strategic
partnership, marked by CIRLY’s order for the first industrial AltiJet® platform dedicated to the digital
printing of protective PCB coating.
Through this investment, CIRLY becomes the first industrial manufacturer to integrate this technology
into its production facilities, marking an important milestone in the industrialisation of this innovation.
This installation also represents the world’s first industrial reference for AltiJet® technology applied
to the digital printing of protective PCB coating. Its operation in a production environment will confirm
its industrial performance, support its continued optimisation and prepare for its broader deployment
in international markets.

A strategic investment
The acquisition of AltiJet® reflects CIRLY’s determination to invest in disruptive technologies in order
to strengthen its competitiveness and keep pace with its customers’ evolving requirements.
With more than 400 active customers each year, notably from the telecommunications, mobility,
defence, industrial design office, technical centre and research laboratory sectors, CIRLY is a leading
industrial partner for deploying this technology across a broad range of applications.
Recognised as one of France’s benchmark printed circuit board manufacturers, CIRLY will be able
to draw on AltiJet® to reduce its manufacturing lead times and meet growing requirements for quality,
flexibility and control of the environmental footprint of electronics.
For MGI Digital Technology and ALTIX, this order represents a major reference and a decisive
milestone in the international deployment of AltiJet® technology.
A long-term industrial partnership
Beyond the supply of the equipment, the three companies will implement an industrial cooperation
programme focused on performance qualification, optimisation and the continuous development of
the AltiJet® platform in a production environment.
Expected benefits of AltiJet® technology
- Digitisation of the protective PCB coating deposition process.
- In-line quality control through the integrated scanner, enabling the automatic inspection of printed circuit boards throughout the manufacturing process.
- Reduced preparation and changeover times.
- Optimised material consumption.
- Improved production flexibility.
- Enhanced digital traceability and process security.
- Potential reduction in waste and environmental footprint.
- An upgradeable platform through software development.
Tony Charlet, President of MGI Digital Technology says :
“CIRLY’s order for AltiJet® represents a major milestone for MGI and ALTIX. Beyond the
investment made, it reflects the confidence of a recognised industrial player in our ability to
offer a disruptive technology for printed circuit board manufacturing. This partnership will
enable us to accelerate the industrialisation and international deployment of this innovation
together.”
Maxime Frachon, President of CIRLY says :
