ATLANTA -- East West Manufacturing has acquired certain operations of Compass Electronics Solutions, a provider of electronics manufacturing services, including advanced printed circuit board assemblies, box build assemblies, wire and cable harness assemblies, and new product introduction services. Terms weren't disclosed.

The acquisition further enhances the growth of East West by adding well-established operations in Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, TX, and advances the company’s strategic focus on growing its North American design, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, East-West said in a press release.

The deal does not include Compass' cable and wire harness operations in Dayton, OH. 

“We are extremely excited to expand our integrated design, engineering, manufacturing and distribution services into Juarez and El Paso,” said Scott Ellyson, East West co-founder and CEO. “Compass has a strong reputation for putting customers first and has an established presence for innovation in a variety of high-growth sectors such as medical & life sciences, commercial & industrial and aerospace & defense.
