Nice but the USA are not our global friends anymore.
Anything available in the EU?

  Not as familiar with the EU market, but have heard good things about Eurocircuits

  I've only found B2B oriented companies in the EU.

  LibrePCB from Aisler seems to be most like jlcpcb.
  You do pay a lot more though due to industrial regulations. Only lead free solder is allowed in the EU, and chemical regulations and waste disposal laws will drive up the price a lot compared to similar services in China and the USA.

    China mostly produces ROHS compliant PCBA anyways. This is a non-issue

    FYI: Aisler is the PCB manufacturer and assembler (based in Aachen iirc). LibrePCB is CAD software.

  I've used <a href="https://aisler.net/en" rel="nofollow">https://aisler.net/en (based in Aachen) plenty of times. I like their quality and I was able to pull off some stupidly toleranced layouts. (This is as a hobbyist building some one-off circuit boards). I haven't used their assembly service.
