The purchase, made possible after the Australian firm received private equity investment last year, will see both companies continue as separate brands and the Kiwi firm’s management team remain in place.
“Nautech extends Circuitwise’s offering, with advanced testing facilities and a team of production engineers and electronics designers,” Circuitwise said in a statement.
“The testing facilities include clean rooms and environmental test chambers to recreate extreme temperatures and vibration. Clean rooms are typically required for space and medical applications.
“The production engineers support the quality process by ensuring all products meet requirements. The design team focuses on providing customers with a complete service to ensure higher reliability of their designs, including design for manufacture.
“Similarly, Circuitwise has capabilities that complement Nautech, having developed a sophisticated enterprise manufacturing system in-house, supported by custom hardware solutions, which provides the group with a clear competitive advantage.”
Circuitwise provides electronic manufacturing services for the medical, aerospace, defence, industrial, mining and lighting industries. It holds ISO 9001, AS 9100D and ISO 13485 medical-grade and aerospace quality certifications.
Circuitwise CEO Serena Ross said quality was Nautech’s “number one priority”.
“Nautech has a strong position in the aerospace industry, which supports our strategy of servicing mission-critical sectors with a high requirement for quality assurance,” Ross said.
“Nautech also has several new capabilities to help us deliver an even better service to our customers across Australia and New Zealand.”
