Pivot International Acquires Electronic Design & Manufacturing

Pivot International, with global headquarters in Lenexa, KS and offices in Europe and Asia, announces that it has acquired Electronic Design & Manufacturing (EDM) based in Omaha, Nebraska, operating for over 38 years, specializing in commercial/industrial, consumer, energy, medical, military and telecommunications markets.

The EDM acquisition greatly expands Pivot International’s capacity in the custom and contract electronic manufacturing space as well as its expertise in electronic assemblies, circuit boards, box builds and encapsulation. It provides for nearly 170,000 square feet of global manufacturing capacity, with approximately 80,000 square feet in the US.

EDM is one of the most recognized electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies in the Midwest. Pat Bystrek, one of the original owners, will continue to lead EDM as a Pivot International subsidiary.

Pivot’s revenue growth of 147% in the last 3 years demonstrates the company’s agility across a broad range of industries and product categories. This is the fourth acquisition for Pivot since the beginning of 2016. In January 2016, the company purchased Mid-Continent Custom Electronics (MCCE) followed by the acquisition of DigitTron in March 2016 and Avatar Engineering in May 2017 expanding its ODM (original design manufacturing), EMS (electronic manufacturing services) and IoT (internet of things) services.

Pivot has a 45-year track record of outstanding performance, innovation, quality and design, engineering and manufacturing as a single-source expert serving clients in a broad range of industries including biometric/security products, wearable technology, touchscreen technology, medical, wireless, fitness, electronic components, agriculture, building operations and consumer products.
