CHARLESTON, SC -- Interconnect Design Solutions, an electronics design engineering company based here, has been acquired by an East Coast EMS company.

The deal for IDS extends Zentech Manufacturing's reach into front-end services, the companies said in a press release.

IDS founder Mike Brown will remain with Zentech as vice president of engineering services. Additional details about the transaction were not disclosed.

“The acquisition of IDS coupled with the May 2015 acquisition of Colonial Assembly and Design and Zentech’s robust capabilities in Baltimore provides outstanding engineering services capability, with multiple Zentech Design Centers now strategically located throughout Zentech’s primary Eastern seaboard market,” said Matt Turpin, CEO and president of Zentech.

Prior to the formation of IDS, Brown managed all ECAD printed circuit board-related design activity at Ciena for 12 years. "the IDS team has supported design related activity for Zentech and their customers for many years and we are absolutely thrilled to be acquired by Zentech," Brown said. "The future at Zentech is very bright and I am excited to lead the Engineering Services portion of the business.”
