BASINGSTOKE, ENGLAND – EC Electronics has acquired fellow EMS provider Subassembly Services for an undisclosed price.

As part of the EC group, SAS will continue to do business independently with its established customer base from its factory in Tewkesbury.

“SAS adds significant capacity to our UK manufacturing capabilities, and we expect to see some major growth in our business over the coming months,” said Phil Simmonds, group managing director.

In addition to PCB assemblies, EC now offers cable and wire harness assembly, electronics encapsulation, and grommet and strain relief for cable assemblies.

SAS founders Maggie Todd and Chris Powell plan to retire once the transaction is complete.
