ATLANTA -- East West Manufacturing, a design, manufacturing and distribution company, has acquired Adcotron EMS for an undisclosed sum.

Adcotron, a Boston-based provider of electronics manufacturing services, box-build assemblies, testing, and new product introduction services, was founded in 2005.

The deal is East West's first acquisition outside the Southeastern US, and is expected to help the firm target new customers in the Northeastern US. East West Manufacturing also acquired EMS provider General Microcircuits in January 2019, and Team Manufacturing in September 2018.

The acquisition of Adcotron advances East West's strategic focus on growing its domestic electronics manufacturing capabilities.

"We are excited to partner with Adcotron to expand our manufacturing operations in Boston," said Scott Ellyson, co-founder and CEO, East West. "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, quickturn electronic manufacturing services."

East West board member Bob Nardelli added, "Expanding the company's operations to Boston aligns perfectly with our strategy of building our portfolio by incorporating companies offering innovative and diverse solutions to our collective and growing customer base."

"The leadership team and associates here at Adcotron are excited about joining the East West family," said Agnes Young, founder and CEO, Adcotron. "Our capabilities, culture and customer-first focus align perfectly. We expect the new combined company to help our customers continue to grow."

East West also operates plants in China, Vietnam and India.
