Eurocircuits is the closest equivalent I've used. Notionally 2 weeks PCB fab and assembly (but don't always meet this), and they can stock your parts in advance (though I don't know if this improves their lead times at all). They have a good setup for dealing with the most common causes of ordering faff by essentially giving you the tools to match up the BOM and pick and place details as well as good DFM stuff. Generally when I go through it there's no further back and forth.
We're trying to make electronic manufacturing (PCB & PCBA) simple, affordable and speedy. A high grade of automation allows prices starting at 12.20 Euros including VAT and shipping. Our software platform is completely built in-house, including state-of-the-art ODB++ integration.
Let me know if you've any questions, happy to answer.
Thanks for being open to questions. I always wanted to know this:
3 copies of a simple 50x50mm, 6 layer, board is 184€ and takes 13 days to make as per https://aisler.net/en/products/boards - for comparison, JLC makes five 100x100mm 6-layer PCBs in 11 days, for $2. (And no, it's not only because of the (always available) coupon. Pricing generally gets better at higher quantities.)
So my question is: why is 6 layers so expensive? Are you really truly economically unable to even get close to JLC, or do you just not care about prototyping orders (or the overlap between hobbyists and professionals), or are these smaller boards a too large part of your revenue that you can't compromise, or is it more a case of being stuck in an outdated legacy mindset where 6 layers is "a lot" and must be allocated to "serious business" only, or is it something else? Or am I just completely off about proper market segmentation? (Same for going to 2oz copper.)
Please don't take offense at the way I'm asking; I really really want to be your customer. I'm never going back to unnecessarily constrained shitty 2 or even 4 layer designs, when a simple part/sig, gnd, vcc, sig/gnd, gnd, part/sig stackup makes design soooo much easier even for simple circuits. But I really would love to know why nothing comes close to JLC one level up from novice PCBs.
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.
I've used 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.

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

FYI: Aisler is the PCB manufacturer and assembler (based in Aachen iirc). LibrePCB is CAD software.
China mostly produces ROHS compliant PCBA anyways. This is a non-issue

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