Interlink Electronics has inked a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire a UK-based contract manufacturing firm, marking another step in the company’s M&A strategy. The all-cash deal is valued at up to $1.9 million, structured with an upfront payment at close and additional earnout provisions spread over three years.

Deal Details & Strategic Fit

The acquisition target brings over 20 years of operational expertise in contract manufacturing and outsourced engineering services. The company demonstrated stability in its last fiscal year by achieving breakeven status on $5 million in revenues. While modest in scale, the addition would strengthen Interlink Electronics’ portfolio when integrated with its Calman Technology subsidiary.

Market Expansion & Growth Trajectory

According to Steven N. Bronson, Chairman, CEO and President, this transaction reflects the company’s dual-track growth philosophy: organic expansion combined with strategic acquisitions. The move extends Interlink Electronics’ footprint into the UK and EU markets—regions that represent increasingly important growth corridors for the sector.

“This acquisition, if completed as expected, would benefit from integration into our existing resources and a more robust, combined sales effort,” Bronson stated, emphasizing the operational synergies anticipated from the deal.

Regulatory Path Forward

The transaction remains subject to standard closing conditions: finalization of a definitive purchase agreement, satisfactory due diligence, and customary regulatory approvals. The LINK acquisition is anticipated to close later this year, pending these procedural milestones.

This move underscores Interlink Electronics’ commitment to building scale through targeted acquisitions while maintaining disciplined capital allocation through earnout structures.
