Precision Circuits Purchased from Kathrand Corporation
Thomas B. Smiley of Carlsbad announced the acquisition
of Precision Circuits of San Diego from Kathrand Corporation.
The new company will operate under the Precision Circuits
of San Diego brand and is incorporated as First Circuit,
Inc.
The acquisition was partially funded through Discovery
Bank in San Marcos, a local community bank which was founded
in 2001 to assist local businesses.
Precision Circuits has served the area since 1985 and
recently added black box design, board layout, and component
assembly to round out the circuit board fabrication capability.
They will continue to serve the dynamic development community
here in the greater San Diego area.
Smiley stated "We are working diligently to make
this a very smooth transition for existing customers,
with no change in location, phone, email, or terms."
"We will however, look at all of our operating systems
and process capabilities, making improvements where necessary.
Our mission is to provide superior, competitive, end to
end support for quick turn prototype and early development
electronic project needs. To that end, additional equipment
is planned and several pieces are already on order. We
intend to be nothing less than the premier source for
San Diego County's development community and low volume
manufacturer."
All existing employees will be retained as well as one
of the former owners, Sam Richards. Sam will continue
in an engineering role supporting the expanding design
side of the business.
