CORINTH, MI Ayrshire Electronics has acquired ACT Electronics' facility here for an undisclosed amount.
 
In doing so, Ayrshire saved the largest EMS factory in the US – some 350,000 sq. ft. – and the jobs of about 200 full-time workers and 50 more part-timers.
 
In a statement, the office of Gov. Haley Barbour said, "Ayrshire Electronics ... is expected to keep 200-plus workers on the job under the umbrella of a new corporate structure and new management effective as early as (today)."
 
Last month ACT put the plant, formerly owned by ITT, up for sale.
 
Ayrshire operates five plants in the Midwest and Mexico.
