continued demand for electronic miniaturization and compressed delivery times. "We
are in the custom engineering business" says Dave Becker, Sales Manager, "our
product technology fits hand in glove with the demand for greater functionality within
a compressed physical area. Our engineering staff has broad industry experience to
assist customers with innovation and application."
All Flex President, Greg Closser, also attributes the success to their customer focused
approach, "Our business has been growing because we have people that understand
that everything revolves around the customer. Our customers need us to respond
immediately to inquiries and concerns and to deliver good parts to them quickly.
