API Diversifies with MEMS

TORONTO – API Nanotronics Corp. closed acquisition of National Hybrid Inc., a privately held NY-based components provider to defense sectors, and its subsidiary Pace Technology Inc. The deal closed with API paying $9.75 million, cash.

This acquisition bolsters API’s product offerings, research and manufacturing capabilities, and advanced package capabilities, said Phillip DeZwirek, chairman and CEO. National Hybrid is in the midst of constructing an advanced MEMS production and micro-fabrication facility in North America, housing R&D for nanotechnology.
