Eoplex Technologies (San Francisco, CA), a manufacturer of miniature electronic components and subassemblies, announced that it has closed a $4.3 million Series B funding round led by Labrador Ventures with investments from Draper Fischer Jurvetson and Draper-Richards. Part of the funding will be used to build the first automated prototype facility utilizing the company's HVPF print-forming process.
The company's proprietary process can build hybrid devices from metals and ceramics in the same structure with true 3-D designs at production rates high enough and costs low enough for applications like cell phones and consumer products.
President and chief executive officer, Arthur L. Chait, said, "EoPlex has partnered with Pro-Mation to build and integrate the new prototype line. We chose Pro-mation based on their willingness to put in the time to fully understand our new technology, their excellent engineering skills and their competitive cost. The new automated prototype facility will allow EoPlex to expand our offerings and qualify in a number of markets."
PRO-MATION is a global provider of printed circuit board (PCB) handling solutions, selective laser soldering cells and automated work cell solutions.

Two long-term industry experts have founded a merger and acquisition business focused on the buying and selling of printed circuit board (PCB) fabricators.
Paul Emello, with over twenty years of PCB industry experience, including a role as president and chief executive officer of Capitol Circuits, and Dan Beaulieu, co-founder of D.B. Management Group—a sales and marketing consulting firm, have joined forces in a new company, Capitol Technologies L.L.C. The Boston, MA-based company will specialize in helping smaller (under $20 million dollars) PCB shops who want to sell or buy board shops.
"We feel that there is real need out there for a company who is willing to work with the smaller board shops, the shops that the big guys, the big investment companies are not really interested in," said Emello.
Beaulieu added, "With our years of expertise and our strong industry connections we can offer our client s a very focused and strategic merger plan. Chances are, if you have a board shop to sell we know the right company to buy it."
