Growth by Acquisition
Over the years, Benchmark grew primarily by acquisition. For instance, in 1998, Benchmark acquired Lockheed Martin Commercial Electronics Company, one of the largest EMS companies in New England. Just one year later, AVEX Electronics was acquired in the largest acquisition of its kind in the Contract Manufacturing industry at the time. The acquisition of Pemstar in 2007 represented Benchmark’s first merger with another global, publicly-traded company. Today, Benchmark is located at 19 sites around the world, in 9 different countries.
