What do they manufacture?
Well it's an interesting answer.
The owners original claim to fame are local car dealership owners. They are known for buying companies, squeezing them dry then dumping them.
This family joined forces with another behemoth family, that owns a trucking company and food warehouse, and bought the printed circuit board division from IBM when IBM decided they wanted to divest themselves of it. They called their new company Endicott Interconnect Technologies, EIT. I was working for IBM at the time and was sold with the rest of the assets. :rolleyes:
14 years later and cutting staff from over 2000 to less than 400 over that time, EIT went bankrupt, the two families got divorced and the car dealership bought EIT in bankruptcy court for pennies on the dollar and renamed it i3electronics.
I3 lasted 6 years before they sold the intellectual property and some physical assets to TTM and they closed the doors.
During the i3 reign, Car Dealership family acquired another struggling company that makes cables and harnesses for the military and automotive industries. That is where the vast majority of the PCB workers ended up, myself included.
Now, aren't you glad you asked!? :lol:
