One of the largest fully UK-owned electronics manufacturers, TechPoint, has acquired Esprit Electronics to further strengthen its UK manufacturing capability and support the company’s long-term growth.
The acquisition brings further EMS expertise, an established customer base and experienced workforce into TechPoint, while expanding the group’s presence with large industrial OEMs. The two companies also share a vision for a strong UK electronics manufacturing.
“We’re delighted to welcome the Esprit Electronics team to TechPoint. We have a shared vision of growing UK electronics manufacturing. Together, we can now offer customers a complete solution, combining complementary capabilities and expertise within one group. I have been impressed with the rich capability and expertise that the Esprit team embodies, and this truly is a great fit for TechPoint,” said TechPoint CEO, Perry Duffil.
Founded in 1985, based in Southampton and employing 92 people, the company generates annual revenues of £18m. Esprit serves a blue-chip multinational industrial customer base with precision manufacturing and test capabilities.
Following the acquisition, Esprit Electronics will continue to operate out of its existing Southampton manufacturing facilities. Service will continue as normal for customers.
