ATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- East West Manufacturing, LLC ("East West" or the "Company"), a global design, manufacturing and distribution business, announced today that it has acquired Adcotron EMS, Inc. ("Adcotron"), a provider of specialized electronics manufacturing services, including advanced printed circuit board assemblies, box-build assemblies, testing, and new product introduction services. Adcotron was founded in 2005 and is located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts.

"Adcotron has a phenomenal reputation for putting its customers first and has an established presence in a variety of high-growth sectors such as medical equipment, robotics and telecommunications. This acquisition allows us to offer our customers even greater domestic, higher mix, lower volume, quick turn electronic manufacturing services. Being in Boston, a rapidly growing technology center, is especially exciting. Best of all, our collective design, manufacturing and supply chain capabilities will enable us to provide even higher levels of service and support to customers on a global basis."

We expect the East West-Adcotron combination to gain significant market share through these expanded capabilities, particularly within the growing corporate and public innovation centers in and around Boston and the Northeastern U.S."
Agnes Young, founder and CEO of Adcotron said, "The leadership team and associates here at Adcotron are excited about joining the East West family. Our capabilities, culture and customer first focus align perfectly. We expect the new combined company to help our customers continue to grow!"
