Infinite Electronics acquires Integra Optics
Infinite Electronics Inc of Irvine, CA, USA, a supplier of electronic components through a family of brands, has acquired carrier-grade optical transceiver maker Integra Optics of Latham, NY, USA.
Founded in 2007, Integra is one of the fastest-growing telecoms companies on the Inc 5000 list, with locations across the USA, Canada and South America.
Continuing to operate as an independent brand within the overall Infinite family, Integra’s president Jim Pascarell will join the Infinite executive team and will continue to lead Integra’s day-to-day operations. Founder David Prescott is leaving Integra and his current role as CEO and CTO, but will remain as a consultant to the Infinite team for a period of time. The merger will “broaden the products, technologies and services Integra Optics can offer to current customers, while also continuing to break ground to significantly increase network reliability and availability across an even wider customer base,” Prescott says.
“This merger opens up a whole new level of experts and resources within Infinite to help us drive the continued growth and expansion of our business,” says Pascarell.
“We see an incredible opportunity to expand our technical reach to more engineers with this critical need in the market for high-quality optical transceiver products and solutions,” says Infinite Electronics’ CEO Penny Cotner. “With the combined leadership of the Infinite Electronics and Integra Optics teams, we see great opportunities ahead.”
