This strategic acquisition underscores both companies’ shared commitment to building the most advanced manufacturing capability in the UK and supporting the UK Government’s drive to secure critical industrial infrastructure.
"Bringing Exception PCB back from Asian into UK ownership strengthens our national manufacturing resilience, aligns with UK Government objectives, and opens new opportunities to innovate, invest, and lead” said Craig Wright, Chairman & CEO at Connexion Technologies. "The business has undergone significant recent investment in its processing technology to place it at the forefront of PCB manufacturing globally and we are proud to support its continued growth”.
This acquisition comes at a time when national focus is returning to domestic capability in manufacturing, especially across sectors such as defence, aerospace, energy, and critical infrastructure.
By uniting under UK ownership, Connexion Technologies and Exception PCB will strengthen British industry, protect key supply chains, and support skilled jobs across the UK.
