SALT LAKE CITY -- Precision Technology, Inc. (PTI), a longtime producer of printed circuit boards, today announced its merger with Epec Engineered Technologies. 

Terms were not disclosed. 

In a press release, Bob Jones, president of PTI, stated: “Due to the globalization and economics of this industry, PTI has extensively searched for a partner to consolidate with seamlessly without disruption and who will continue to give our customers good quality, prices, and deliveries.”

PTI began operations in Salt Lake City in 1968, and its customers include OEMs in all areas of manufacturing, a large number of electronic contract manufacturers, and many companies involved in science, research, medicine, and research and development. Epec has been in business since 1952, with numerous manufacturing plants throughout the United States and Asia producing time-sensitive printed circuit boards, quickturn prototypes, and large production orders, along with flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards.

Richy Reynolds will continue as the point of contact, now as a member of Epec.

Ed McMahon, CEO, Epec, said: “We are very excited and welcome PTI and their customers into the growing Epec family. Bob and Richy have built a business with a tremendous reputation for putting the customer first, which seamlessly fits into Epec’s core values.

“As Epec has successfully executed over 13 transactions exactly like this one with PTI, we are confident of a smooth and seamless transition of all the long-term PTI customers. We are very excited to springboard our focus in the Western U.S. with the addition of Richy and his years of technical experience. With four PCB shops closing over the past few months, we are uniquely positioned to grow our business through acquisitions given our significant financial and operational resources.”
