AWS Electronics Group has announced its acquisition of Jantec Electronic Services Ltd, a contract service and repairs business based in Bedfordshire. Jantec’s expertise in product design, development, prototyping, low volume manufacture, diagnostic testing and repairs compliments the longstanding services that AWS already offer their clients.
Paul
Deehan, Managing Director of AWS, said: “We are responding to the growing customer need to provide services that extend into the full electronic product life cycle such as product development at the front end and asset management or maintenance, service and repairs at the back end. AWS bolt on acquisition of Jantec now reinforces our position in this latter segment. More and more of our customers are asking us for these services and we have now recognised this in our strategic planning. As well as organic growth we are looking at other acquisitions. However, the acquisitions must not only fit the growth plan but also provide us with new skills and service depth, Jantec does this in a specific segment”.
