NEW YORK – Vexos has acquired Vancouver, WA-based ControlTek, expanding the EMS provider's footprint to the US' West Coast to help meet growing customer demands.

The new facility features three SMT lines, specializes in low-to-mid volume, high mix production, and serves the medical, industrial, and aviation, space, and defense markets. The acquisition adds to Vexos' existing locations in LaGrange, OH; Markham, Ontario, Canada; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Dongguan, China; and Hong Kong.

ControlTek has significant accreditations and certifications to support these markets including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, AS9100D:2016, ITAR, IPC, ANSI, AS5553, and is FDA registered, and its in-house electronic design engineering capabilities, and strong new product introduction skills make it a perfect fit for Vexos, the company said in a release.

"We are delighted to announce the addition of ControlTek to the Vexos family," said Vexos CEO Paul Jona. "The strengths of ControlTek, its West Coast location and its presence in the Aerospace and Defense markets creates new opportunities. This strategic union marks a significant milestone in our journey, enabling us to extend our capabilities and better serve the diverse needs of our valued customers that seek manufacturing solutions from coast-to-coast. By combining the expertise and resources of both companies, we further strengthen our position as a leading force in the market."

The company said the addition of the Washington facility will extend the reach of its value proposition for which it is well known: its executive engagement and close interaction with its customers, combined with world class support and services, such as Design for Excellence (DfX), supply chain services, the global footprint, Customized Material Solutions (CMS) and NPI.

"For over 50 years, ControlTek has delivered EMS solutions and built lasting partnerships with our customers," said Andy LaFrazia, CEO, ControlTek. "With their extensive global presence and value proposition, Vexos will allow us to offer our customers access to a broad network of additional resources and services. With our combined expertise and shared passion for building strong customer relationships, we are excited to reach new heights."
