Whether attending the EMS Leadership Summit at IPC APEX EXPO, or subscribing to workforce training, LSI ADL Technology has noted several positive changes directly related to its IPC membership.
“Collaboration, brainstorming, and sharing best practices have been the most important aspects of our partnership with IPC,” says Jonathan Verity, assistant general manager at LSI ADL Technology. “IPC provides the knowledge, training, and tools that allow our business, operators, and staff to be the most successful they can be in managing our business and customer relationships.”
ADL Technology was established in 1993 in Columbus, Ohio, as an engineering design company. Four years later, it entered the contract manufacturing business, starting with PCB assemblies and expanding into box-build assembly in 2004.
ADL formed a key partnership with LSI Industries, producing all the LED assemblies for its lighting projects. As a result, LSI acquired ADL in 2009, adding more surface mount technology, expanding the capabilities of its production operations, and growing its business by investing in integrated manufacturing and design services.
“Our fantastic team has done exceptional work over the years to shape this business for growth,” Jonathan says. “Our current challenge is how we successfully gear this business for continued growth by making it highly efficient and scalable to meet our customers’ current and future needs.”
