Welcome gift
Get the e-book "HMI Panels for engineers. From design to product"
When you join the newsletter, you'll receive a practical e-book on HMI panels – from early design decisions to a product ready for manufacturing.
Free for new subscribers
HMI Panels for engineers. From design to product
A practical overview of how to design, specify and implement HMI panels so they are manufacturable, reliable and aligned with your product and ESG goals.
- What CEOs, purchasers, engineers and PMs each need to know when planning HMI panels.
- Concrete examples of lighter, more integrated interfaces and front panels.
- Checklists for moving from proof-of-concept to scalable production.
The e-book is sent automatically after you confirm your subscription to LCE Insider.
What is LCE Insider?
A monthly briefing + podcast for modern electronics teams.
Each edition of LCE Insider blends insights from printed electronics projects, ESG-driven sourcing, and HMI design – so you can make better decisions from concept to scale-up.
Podcast
Conversations you can listen to in one commute.
20–40 minute episodes with engineers, PMs and buyers dealing with real-world constraints: timelines, regulations, budgets and field performance.
Perspective
One topic, four roles.
Many issues look at the same topic from the perspective of a CEO, purchaser, designer and product manager – so your whole team speaks the same language.
Meet the team behind LCE Insider.
LCE Insider is created by engineers, product people and purchasing specialists at LC Elektronik. The same people who design and manufacture membrane keyboards, printed electronics and HMI solutions for OEMs across Europe.
We write and record from the perspective of people who spend their days on real projects – not from a marketing department.
Damian Wikieł, print technician
Current focus
Printed electronics, ecology & scalable hardware.
A recent edition of LCE Insider explores how printed electronics can reduce material use, simplify HMI integration and help teams meet ESG goals – without sacrificing speed or scalability.
For leadership & purchasing
Ecology & ESG as a concrete advantage.
- How printed electronics reduce material usage and chemical processing in production.
- What CSRD, "Fit for 55" and Scope 3 mean for your electronics supply chain.
- How buyers can move from "price-only" to ESG-aware sourcing without losing control.
- Building circular, traceable supply chains instead of linear "take–use–waste" models.
For engineers & PMs
From MVP to series with printed electronics.
- Integrating sensors, graphics and logic in one thin structure – with fewer connectors and soldering steps.
- Starting with 25+ functional prototypes instead of waiting for full tooling.
- How to plan tests (bending, UV, environment) and material changes before scale-up.
- Scaling from MVP to series without losing control over quality, cost or documentation.

Topics
Sample topics from LCE Insider.
Titles change from issue to issue, but the themes stay consistent: sustainable electronics, printed electronics and real-world HMI and enclosure projects.
How to connect innovation, ecology and scalability in electronic devices – without slowing down the roadmap.
Printed electronics for CEOs: turning ESG pressure into a strategic advantage rather than a cost centre.
Purchasing with ESG in mind: Scope 3, circular supply chains and traceability in practice.
From soldering to integration: designing touch interfaces without extra connectors and complex housings.
From MVP to series: scaling printed electronics projects without chaos in quality, cost or documentation.
Where printed electronics win, and when a classic PCB or membrane keyboard is still the better choice.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How often do you send the newsletter?
Once per month. We want each issue to feel like a curated briefing, not another weekly obligation.
Is LCE Insider really free?
Yes. The newsletter and podcast are free to access. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time with a single click in the footer of each email.
Will you spam me with sales emails?
No. The focus is educational: printed electronics, ESG, HMI and device design. Occasionally we may mention new capabilities or events at LC Elektronik, but never in a spammy way.
Can I share the newsletter with my team?
Absolutely. Many readers forward LCE Insider to their leadership, R&D and purchasing teams. You can also share this landing page so your colleagues can subscribe individually.
How can I suggest a topic?
Just reply to any newsletter email or reach out via lcel.com. Many of our issues start with questions from CEOs, engineers or buyers.
