NEWARK, NY–(CRWENewswire - 08/03/10) - IEC Electronics Corp. (AMEX:IEC) announced it has acquired all the assets of Celmet Corporation, a privately held manufacturer of metal chassis and assemblies located in Rochester, N.Y., in a cash transaction for approximately $2 million. For the year ending December 31, 2009, Celmet had revenue of just over $3.6 million.
W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “We are pleased to finalize this purchase as we continue to build our company. IEC outsources millions of dollars of chassis assemblies annually, at times encountering quality and delivery issues. Celmet is a successful, well managed small business, serving customers similar to those of IEC in the military and industrial markets. The acquisition leverages the existing customer base of both companies and enables us to extend our capabilities in terms of products and services we can offer our customers.
“Mr. Tom Guliani, who has had many years of experience in metal chassis fabrication, will be our Director of Operations at Celmet responsible for the ongoing operation of the business.”
