Compass Electronics Group (CEG) has completed the acquisition of El Paso, Texas-based electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and third-party logistics solutions provider Protech Global Solutions LP.
“Protech has an excellent reputation as a producer of high-quality electronic components with absolutely reliable logistics operations,” said Jeff Roberts, president and chief operations officer of CEG. “We’re thrilled to bring the Protech team’s electronics expertise to our platform.

The company operates facilities in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, which include six full SMT lines and nearly 100,000 square feet combined.
