Industrial Growth Partners, in partnership with management, has acquired APCT and its affiliated entities and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “APCT” or the “Company”).

Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, APCT is a designer and manufacturer of low volume, high mix advanced technology printed circuit boards, including multi-layer rigid, high density interconnect (HDI), rigid-flex and flexible circuits. The Company specializes in quick turn, prototype and low-volume production manufacturing for critical applications within the aerospace & defense, medical, data center, and other industrial end markets. The products manufactured by APCT are commonly sole-sourced and serve applications that require North America-based manufacturing due to low volume, high mix nature of orders, short lead time requirements and sensitive security or intellectual property considerations.  APCT is a customer-centric business, differentiated through its technical expertise and consultative engineering approach, manufacturing capabilities, reputation for quality and broad product offering of complex, advanced technologies.

“IGP’s familiarity and experience within our core markets and products through current and prior investments make them the ideal partner for APCT,” commented Steve Robinson, CEO of APCT. “The entire APCT team is excited to partner with IGP and leverage their resources for strategic and operational support as we continue to grow and strengthen our business. IGP’s expertise and proven track record make them the right partner as we continue with our next phase of growth.”
