East West Manufacturing

What East West Manufacturing does

East West Manufacturing is a private, full-solution electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company founded in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia, by Scott Ellyson and Jeff Sweeney. The company provides design, engineering, prototyping, new product introduction (NPI), electronics manufacturing, injection molding, supply chain management, and proprietary motor solutions for industrial, medical, networking/AI infrastructure, and smart building/IoT OEMs. It operates 9 manufacturing facilities across 7 countries (USA, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Vietnam, China, India), employs more than 2,700 people, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, SA8000, UL, CSA, ETL, and CE certifications across key sites. Its product portfolio includes the proprietary Vertex® EC Motors line with PCB Stator technology, subfractional HP EC motors and fans, AC motors through a 20+ year joint venture with Changzhou Baojie Motors (CBM), and — as of January 2026 — the Scanalytics smart flooring and building intelligence product division.

The company makes money primarily through contract manufacturing services (EMS, rapid prototyping, NPI, supply chain management, and box build) billed via custom quotes tied to BOM complexity, volume, tooling, and compliance requirements, typically structured as multi-year enterprise contracts. A secondary revenue stream comes from proprietary hardware sales of Vertex EC motors and motor-driven fan/blower/pump solutions. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to OEM customers including Wahoo Fitness, BK Technologies, Sollum Technologies, and Flock Safety, supported by content marketing, industry events (Clean Power Expo, American Medical Device Summit), and executive podcast appearances. In January 2022, MSD Partners, L.P. invested approximately $76.9M to support East West's ongoing acquisition and expansion strategy; the company has executed at least 9 acquisitions since 2017, including Varitron (Quebec, 2021), Compass Electronics Solutions (2022), Eastprint (2023), and Scanalytics (2026). Ryan Flynn, formerly President North America at The Weir Group, serves as CEO, with co-founder Scott Ellyson as Chairman of the Board.
