BILLERICA, MA – Aotco Metal Finishing acquired Plating for Electronics, provider of anodizing, electroplating, and laser marking services, for an undisclosed sum.

"Plating for Electronics is a world-class manufacturer that, like Aotco, is sought out by customers for its quality, customer service, and expertise in processing complex plating jobs," said Matt Smith, Aotco’s President. "This transaction builds on our commitment to preserve and advance the art of electroplating by creating a team of the top experts in the field."

Under the transaction, both Aotco and PFE will continue to operate in their respective locations, and the management and employees will remain in place. Customers will be able to take advantage of both companies' capabilities and tap into their combined capacity and know-how.

"We are very excited about the opportunities this partnership provides customers," said Corie Davino, vice president of operations of the new organization. "PFE clients can now run certified jobs through Aotco's NADCAP-accredited facility, while Aotco's customers can now access PFE services such as expanded anodize colors and laser marking."
