Design Solutions Acquires Paradigm Manufacturing Partners
Santa Barbara, California, USA -- Design Solutions Inc.

Value-added capabilities include PCB layout and design for manufacturing.
In making the announcement, Sean O'Neil, president and CEO of DSI, said, "This acquisition helps DSI close the gap between design and manufacturing to provide a full product development solution under one umbrella." This solution, he added, includes concepts, industrial design and mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, FPGA/ASIC development, software integration and development, as well as PCB design and manufacturing.
Sean O'Neil described the acquisition as growth-driven, adding a greater range of capabilities to DSI's offerings for its expanding customer base. "With currently seven locations in the U.S. and two in Europe, DSI is experiencing rapid and consistent growth globally as a premier provider of task-oriented engineering and manufacturing services to the commercial and military electronics industry, as well as full turn-key product development solutions for large clients and small start-ups."
"We have brought on the best personnel in our industry to ensure that these goals are realized, and will continue to make necessary mergers and acquisitions to position DSI at the forefront of the electronics design and manufacturing industries."
Scott Penin, president and CEO of Paradigm, will remain on board and has been appointed to the position of V.P. of Global Manufacturing of DSI. O'Neil added, "As a six-sigma manufacturing guru and process engineer, Scott has helped, and will continue to help ensure that all products produced under the DSI roof are designed for the most efficient manufacturability, from a cost, production, and time perspective.
