What Hi-Tech does

Hi-Tech Electronic Products & Mfg., Inc. is a privately held US electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider founded in 1979 and headquartered in a 33,000 sq ft facility in Oglesby, Illinois. The company delivers turnkey contract electronics manufacturing for OEM customers across Military/Aerospace, Telecom, Automotive, Industrial, and Medical verticals, with services spanning surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole circuit board assembly, flex circuits, PCB fabrication, box build, conformal coating, cable and wire harness assembly, and complete supply chain management.

The domestic operation is built around a modern equipment portfolio that includes SIPLACE SX1/SX2 SMT placement systems (rated up to 75,000 CPH), Kurtz Ersa HOTFLOW 3/20 reflow ovens, DEK Horizon stencil printers, and Omron VT-X750 3D CT AXI automated X-ray inspection. Hi-Tech pairs this hardware stack with Aegis FactoryLogix MES and MAX ERP software to deliver component-level traceability, paperless process control, and customer-facing production portals. Quality is managed under an ISO 9002-modeled system with IPC-610, RoHS, and UL compliance, plus ITAR registration for government and defense work. For higher-volume, cost-sensitive runs the company routes production to a strategic overseas turnkey partner operating a 150,000+ sq ft facility with up to 1,300 workers across 20+ production lines, including automated lead-free and Class 100 cleanroom lines.

Commercially, Hi-Tech runs a direct sales-led motion targeting enterprise customers via a quote-based engagement process. Pricing is fully custom, structured around board quantities, technology mix (SMT, through-hole, box build, cable), consignment versus turnkey preference, and lead time. There is no public pricing, no self-serve channel, and no disclosed revenue or funding history. The company appears to be founder/independently owned, with growth signaled primarily through consistent equipment reinvestment rather than M&A or external capital raises.
