SAN DIEGO – Cal-Comp, the world’s sixth largest EMS company, has acquired Spectragraphics, the parent company of a pair of US-based EMS companies, for an undisclosed price. The deal is expected to close in the next 60 days.

Despite its size – Cal-Comp had sales of $3.3 billion last year – the acquisition marks Cal-Comp’s first entry in North America. The company is based in Thailand, where it also is publicly traded, and itself is a subsidiary of Taiwan’s Kinpo.

As part of the acquisition, Cal-Comp will get EMS firms SMS Technologies, based in San Diego, and Total Electronics, which has factories in Logansport, IN, and Reynosa, Mexico.

Spectragraphics has revenue of roughly $60 million to $70 million a year, according to reports. All 400 workers will be offered their current jobs under Cal-Comp.
