Vepac Electronics has been acquired by the Electrocomp Group and Edwin Brown, effective from 1 February 2008. Current owner John Blackwell will be taking a well deserved retirement.
Edwin, together with the Electrocomp Group will continue to provide strong leadership and direct the company with the same innovation, flexibility and customer service that has made Vepac one of the leading players in the local electronics industry for the past 21 years. The change in ownership creates many opportunities for Vepac and its employees and with the assistance of the Electrocomp Group, we intend to aggressively grow existing business while expanding into new markets.
We are committed to support Vepac’s growth initiatives, increase scope of current product portfolio and ensure that complementary products are successfully introduced in line with expansion plans. We will continue to work closely with our valued customers and suppliers to provide leading edge products, systems and support.
