NEWARK, NY --  IEC Electronics has opened its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at the Silver Hill Technology Park here.

The new 150,000 sq. ft. plant will house the EMS company's interconnect solutions business.

"The transition was nearly seamless," said Jeff Schlarbaum, president and CEO, IEC. "We have a detailed transition plan for our electronics assembly business over the coming months. While this is a complicated plan that is focused on leveraging our equipment footprint and our very technical talented team to ensure that our move is successful and we maintain more importantly continuity of supply to our customers. The thought of being fully operational in a brand new custom built facility is exciting, and we anticipate at the new location will improve operating efficiencies and enhance our performance."

Schlarbaum also gave an update on the company's site in Rochester, an 86,000 sq. ft. site which is under development.

"Our new building on Jet View Drive in Rochester, New York, continues to progress for occupancy, which is expected to occur over the summer. With Rochester's high-tech demographics, we believe establishing this vocation will heighten the recognition of IEC among local businesses in the local markets and help us attract workforce talent from the local high-tech community. These two new locations are a strong addition to our operational foundation as we pursue our goal of double-digit organic growth during fiscal 2021. We're excited about the opportunities we're seeing in the marketplace, and we look forward to leveraging our capabilities and customer base to deliver a strong second half of fiscal 2021."
