electronic assemblies, and quick-turn and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (PCB). We focus on providing time-to-market and volume production of advanced technology products and offer a one-stop design, engineering, and manufacturing solution to our customers. This solution allows us to align technology development with the diverse needs of our customers and to enable them to reduce the time required to develop new products and bring them to market. We serve a diversified customer base consisting of approximately 1,400 customers in various markets throughout the world, including aerospace and defense, data center computing, automotive, medical, industrial and instrumentation, and networking. Our customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers, original design manufacturers (ODMs), distributors, and government agencies (both domestic and allied foreign governments).

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In the third quarter of 2024, we commenced construction of our new advanced technology PCB manufacturing facility in Syracuse, New York. We expect that our new facility will bring advanced technology capability for our domestic high-volume production of ultra-high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs in support of national security requirements. We believe the planned investment aligns with New York State’s continuing focus on the region as a premier technology hub for U.S. electronics and the recent selection of Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse (BRS) for the Federal Tech Hub designation. The project reflects our support for cultivating a stronger microelectronics ecosystem in New York and across the U.S. Aerospace and Defense industrial base. The new building will be located on the 24-acre property adjacent to our existing facility in Syracuse, and we expect to commence initial low rate production in 2026. Phase one of the proposed project, including capital for campus-wide improvements is estimated to be $100.0 million to $130.0 million. We expect to receive support in the form of grants, awards, and tax credits from both federal and New York state sources of approximately $52.0 million in the aggregate (subject to certain requirements and contingencies), which would offset the initial capital investment and lower operating expenses.

In addition, we previously announced plans to consolidate our integrated electronics facilities in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and Huntington, New York into existing facilities in order to improve efficiencies. As of the end of fiscal year 2024, the closure of Elizabeth City has been completed and the closure of Huntington is expected by the middle of 2025.
