Circuit Check Inc. (Maple Grove, MN, http://www.circuitcheck.com) has announced the acquisition of Southwest Test Inc. (Richardson, TX). Under the terms of the acquisition, Circuit Check will purchase the operating assets and liabilities of Southwest Test. According to the companies, the agreement will create the largest fixture manufacturer in North America offering electronics test solutions to multiple end markets.
Greg Michalko, president and CEO of CCI said, �The landscape of electronics production is changing, and we are changing with it. Our goal is to satisfy a broader spectrum of our customer needs, both with technology and the geographic presence to support it. However, our main focus will be maintaining the strong relationships and support each company�s respective customers have come to expect."
�Both CCI and SWT have successful strategies in the fixture marketplace for our respective products and services,� said Scott White, vice president of sales and marketing for CCI. �While there is some overlap in these strategies, the two companies have historically focused on different segments of the test fixture business. We are, in effect, strong complements to each other�s business. By maintaining much of these original identities, we hope to foster and drive our respective growth and customer support.�
The combined company will operate manufacturing centers in Minnesota, Texas, California, Alabama and Massachusetts.
