HAUPPAUGE, NY – Orbic Electronics, through its affiliate Ashi Properties, has purchased a 27,000 sq. ft. building and and three acres of land here for $6.6 million as part of its plan to move manufacturing from China to the US.

Orbic, which manufactures phones, laptops and other electronic devices, announced its Project Patriot plan in January, which will see it bring as many 1,000 jobs to Long Island in the next five years. The company previously received an incentive from the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency to lease and renovate a 70,000 sq. ft. building in Hauppauge as part of a $30.8 million investment.

"This initiative is a stride forward in our vision of a sustainable, job-creating future," Mike Narula, president and CEO of Orbic, said while announcing the plan. "Project Patriot is set to be a very exciting time in our company’s history, and Suffolk County is the perfect location for the bulk of our work to advance the production of American-Made products and grow American manufacturing jobs. Having our products read ‘Made in America’ is a tremendous point of pride for us, and it will also allow our company to bolster the local economy, helping other vendors in Suffolk County succeed alongside us."
