Mass Design Expands With US PCB Maker Electropac As Its New Division

NASHUA, N.H., March 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Electropac Co. has become a new division of Mass Design, Inc. with the recent purchase of this printed circuit board manufacturer founded in 1976 in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The move came about as part of Electropac Co. founder Ray Boissoneau's succession plan.

Like Mass Design, Electropac served commercial, medical, military and aerospace industries with custom design and manufacturing as well as large-volume prodction. Electropac's key people, expertise, product mix and markets mesh perfectly with our corporate environment," said Tony Bourassa, Mass Design president.

In addition to the Electropac brand, equipment and intellectual property, key former employees will join Mass Design as part of the move.
