NEWARK, NY – IEC Electronics has broken ground on a $22 million facility here.

The new site was funded in part by $5 million from Empire State Development in exchange for job commitments. NYSEG is also offering support of $670,000.

When completed, the EMS plant is expected to create more than 360 new jobs.

The company has reportedly created 175 jobs at its existing Newark location during the last year and a half.

IEC supplies PCB assembly, cable and wire harness assembly and precision metalworking for medical, industrial, aerospace and defense firms globally.

Operations are anticipated to begin in 2020.
