Inovar Inc., an Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider to leading aerospace, defense, medical and commercial original equipment manufacturers (OEM) companies, is pleased to announce its acquisition by Spartronics LLC.  

Since 1998, Inovar has built a legacy of customer service excellence, providing a broad range of end-to-end electronic manufacturing services including test engineering, printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), system build integration and test, end product fulfillment and aftermarket services. Industry-leading OEMs are leveraging Inovar’s two state-of-the-art facilities in Logan, Utah and Tecate, Mexico for a range of services.
