The EC Electronics Group has acquired Liad Electronics

Liad Electronics, known for its expertise in producing printed circuit board assemblies, caters to a diverse array of high-tech customers with complex electronics manufacturing needs. By acquiring Liad Electronics, EC Electronics Group expands its footprint in mainland Europe and gains additional manufacturing capabilities through Liad’s facility in Breda, Netherlands.

This acquisition, following Rockpool's initial investment in September 2022, represents the group's second significant expansion. Post-acquisition, the group’s operations in the Netherlands will continue under the leadership of Liad’s Managing Director Rick Meesters, who will also reinvest in the group and join the EC Electronics Group board.

Phil Simmonds, CEO of EC Electronics, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are very excited about Liad Electronics joining the EC Group and working with the incredibly experienced team there. Liad will now be the foundation for the next stage of our growth plans in mainland Europe and a key part of the future success of the group.”

Rick Meesters, representing Liad Electronics, shared his anticipation for the new partnership: “I am looking forward to collaborating with the EC Group and Rockpool. The additional services offered by EC will allow us to significantly improve our position and provide extra support to existing relationships.”

Since its establishment in 1984, EC Electronics has been delivering comprehensive manufacturing services, including PCB assembly, cable assembly, electronics box build, low-pressure overmoulding, electronic design, supply chain services, and product realisation.
