Active-PCB joins ACT Group
UK-based contract electronics manufacturer Active-PCB Solutions Ltd has been acquired by Agile Circuit Technologies Group Ltd.
Active-PCB is a UK-based contract electronics manufacturer providing solutions in electronic and mechanical assembly – from early design and prototyping to volume production.
"I am delighted that we have been able to welcome Active-PCB to the ACT Group family. Active-PCB shares ACT Group’s continual drive to invest behind great customer service. We look forward to supporting Mark Aitken and the Active-PCB team as they continue on this journey, and to sharing the customer service benefits which membership of a larger group can provide," says Dean Curran, CEO of ACT Group, in a press release.
Back in July 2024, Dean Curran acquired Garner Osborne Circuits Limited (Garner), a UK specialist in PCB manufacturing and PCBA located in Newbury, England. Now, he has closed a second deal with the bolt-on acquisition of Reading-based Active-PCB — forming a new group of side-by-side businesses with the two companies.
“Active-PCB was founded 28 years ago by Gary Turner and Marinela Covachã, with a relentless focus on providing highly responsive service to address customer’s underlying needs. ACT Group’s culture and strategy is a perfect fit with this founding ethos. We are excited about the prospects for our customers and ourselves in this new partnership,” says Mark Aitken, CEO of Active-PCB.
