Astron, a Flextronics International Ltd subsidiary, has announced the acquisition of Advanced Component Labs HK Ltd (ACL), a Hong Kong-based advanced technology printed circuit board manufacturer.
The acquisition of ACL enhances Astron's advanced packaging substrate technology to meet growing market demands for small handheld telecommunications and personal computing devices. Astron plans to incorporate ACL's expertise in advanced PCB technologies to provide cutting edge PCB manufacturing and services to its customers, and to continue developing new technologies including flip chip BGA, thermal vias and less than 50 micron trace BGA products. Astron intends to consolidate operations from its two existing Hong Kong plants into the new facility over the next few months. At the completion of the consolidation process, Astron will occupy 60,000 square feet of manufacturing space and employ approximately 300 employees in the Tsuen Wan facility in Hong Kong.
