Spartronics

What Spartronics does

Spartronics LLC is a privately-held electronics contract manufacturing services (EMS) provider serving OEMs in highly-regulated, mission-critical end markets. The company specializes in printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), subsystem integration, and full-box builds, with deep expertise in FDA-registered Class II and III medical device manufacturing, AS9100-certified defense electronics, and high-reliability space and aerospace systems. Its service portfolio spans the full product lifecycle — value-added engineering (DFM, NPI support, sustaining engineering), manufacturing readiness, integrated supply chain management, logistics, quality systems, and aftermarket solutions (repairs, refurbishment, obsolescence management). The firm operates eight US facilities (Fairport NY, Watertown SD, Williamsport PA, Brooksville FL, Logan UT, Plaistow NH, Strongsville OH) and one offshore facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with a new 270,000 sq ft LEED Gold-certified replacement facility in Binh Duong City representing a fourfold capacity expansion. The firm employs 1,001-5,000 people and reported over $400M in revenue as of January 2021.

The business model is direct enterprise sales to OEMs across six primary verticals: commercial aerospace, defense, medical devices, life sciences, instrumentation & control, and space. Revenue is generated through manufacturing fees tied to product complexity, volume, and program scope, complemented by engineering and aftermarket services. Pricing is quote-based, reflecting regulatory requirements, certification scope, and qualification complexity, and the company employs a field-sales/account-management motion with executive-level engagement (CEO, VP Supply Chain, VP Business Development) on key programs. Notable customers include RTX/Raytheon (Premier Award recipient in both 2021 and 2024), Neuronetics (NeuroStar TMS therapy device), and Fortem Technologies (counter-UAS drones), with on-time deliverability reported at 97.4% across all sites.

Spartronics was acquired by One Equity Partners in July 2020 and has since executed an aggressive platform-building strategy, acquiring Primus Technologies (December 2020) and Inovar (September 2021) to expand US footprint and engineering capacity. The company maintains an extensive certification portfolio — ISO 13485:2016, AS9100, ISO 9001:2015, NADCAP, MDSAP, FDA 21 CFR Part 820 / Part 11, IEC 60601-1, ISO 14971, ANSI/ESD S20.20, and the IPC standard family — which collectively represent a significant barrier to entry in regulated manufacturing and constitute the company's primary competitive moat. Leadership under CEO Jeffrey T. Schlarbaum (25+ years EMS experience) and CFO Michael R. Schlehr (since January 2023) is steering continued investment in dual onshore/offshore capacity and Defense Industrial Base qualification.
