Ethertronics Acquires Swedish Design Center



    Ethertronics Inc., a leading provider of standard and customized
    embedded antenna solutions for wideband and multi-band wireless
    devices, today announced that it has acquired Flextronics´ design
    center located in Kalmar, Sweden. The acquisition and subsequent
    renaming as Ethertronics Sweden AB, is part of Ethertronics´ expansion
    plan in Europe and will enable the company to better serve the global
    manufacturing marketplace.

    As part of the transaction, Ethertronics acquired the facility´s
    lab and design center as well as approximately 10 engineers. Acquiring
    the existing engineering talent paves the way for a seamless
    transition, as many of the existing customers and their respective
    projects are migrating over to Ethertronics.

    "This acquisition is a natural fit for our global expansion plans
    and further cements Ethertronics´ presence in the world´s primary
    technology centers throughout Asia, the U.S., and Europe," said
    Jeffrey Crosby, president and chief executive officer of Ethertronics.
    "In addition to being located near key customers and in burgeoning
    wireless markets, this acquisition gives us instant access to an
    experienced team and well-equipped facility. We look forward to
    immediately continuing work on existing projects at the Kalmar
    facility and to initiating new deals in the coming months."

    Ethertronics Sweden AB is located at Bredbandet 1, Varvsholmen,
    SE-392 30 Kalmar, Sweden.
