History
Solectron Centum Electronics was founded on 8 January 1993 in Bangalore, Karnataka by Apparao Venkata Mallavarapu. The company was publicly listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange in 1994. Centum Electronics demerged its electronics manufacturing services division into Solectron EMS India Ltd in November 2006. The company changed its name to Centum Electronics in January 2013.
Centum acquired a 51% controlling stake in French company Adetel Group for an undisclosed amount in June 2016. In April 2018, Centum signed an agreement to sell its 51% stake in Centum Rakon India Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture with New Zealand company Rakon, to Rakon for US$5.5 million. Centum stated that it did not regard Centum Rakon, which primarily operated in the telecommunications industry, as "core to its strategy". The company increased its stake in Adetel Group to 64.66% in December 2020.
The company was awarded the Defence Research and Development Organisation's Defence Technology Absorption Award by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in January 2021 for its work on the EMISAT. In March 2021, Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems CEO Rudra Jadeja stated that Centum Electronics was among the companies that contributed to the manufacture of Spice 2000 bombs including those used in the 2019 Balakot airstrike.
Centum Electronics has been a partner of the non-profit Akshaya Patra Foundation since the 2000s. Between 2010 and 2020, Centum stated that it had sponsored meals for 360,000 school children at public and Government-aided schools in Bangalore.
