We’re thrilled to announce that Jaltek Ltd has been acquired by Norautron AS, marking an exciting new chapter for our business. Headquartered in Horten, Norway, with branches in Norway, Sweden, Poland, China and Malaysia, Norautron is an international provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services.

The acquisition represents an important strategic step in Norautron's continued growth journey, strengthening its technical and design capabilities, expanding its advanced electronics manufacturing capacity and establishing a presence in the UK.

The transaction is fully aligned with Norautron's long-term growth strategy, where international expansion and the continuous enhancement of technological capabilities remain key priorities.

The acquisition establishes Norautron in the United Kingdom, creating a strong platform for further growth in one of Europe's leading advanced manufacturing markets while strengthening the Group's position within Defence & Aerospace and other high-reliability industries.

"This acquisition marks a natural continuation of our growth strategy. The UK is a highly strategic market, particularly within Defence & Aerospace, and this investment will enhance our proximity to both existing and new customers in the region. Just as importantly, we see a strong cultural fit between our organisations, with a shared commitment to quality, engineering excellence and long-term customer relationships," said Bjørn Einar Brath, CEO of Norautron AS.

Jaltek has built a strong reputation in advanced electronics manufacturing, with extensive manufacturing and design expertise, supporting customers across high-tech and highly regulated industries. The acquisition broadens Norautron's customer offering by expanding its EMS capacity and technical expertise, enabling the Group to deliver an even more comprehensive range of end-to-end solutions.

"By combining Jaltek's technical expertise and strong UK market presence with Norautron's scale, industrial platform, and international network. we are strengthening our ability to support customers with broader capabilities, increased capacity and local expertise.” Bjørn Einar added.

The acquisition will support continued growth across both organisations through increased manufacturing capacity, knowledge sharing and expanded market opportunities.

Jaltek will continue to operate from its existing UK facilities, with its experienced leadership team and employees continuing to support customers locally. As part of the Norautron Group, the business will benefit from additional international resources and expertise while maintaining the quality, service and relationships customers know and trust.

Steve Pittom, Managing Director of Jaltek Ltd, said: "After several years of strong growth, we're excited to become part of the Norautron Group. Throughout the process, it became clear that our businesses share the same values and commitment to quality, technical excellence and building long-term customer relationships, making this a natural fit.

There are many complementary strengths across our organisations which will significantly enhance what we can offer our customers. By combining Jaltek’s design and manufacturing expertise and UK market knowledge with Norautron's international reach and manufacturing capability, we'll be able to provide greater capacity, broader technical support and access to new opportunities, while continuing to deliver the high levels of quality and service our customers expect from Jaltek.

We're looking forward to working together and building on the strengths of both businesses as we begin this next chapter.”
