“Our customers will benefit, as we will offer additional engineering, manufacturing, and sales support for all of our products,” said Thomas J. Far­rell, president and CEO of ECI. “A more expansive product line will allow us to serve additional adjacent markets and give us the opportunity to introduce existing technology and products into new and exist­ing markets.”



He added that over the next few months, ECI would be in the process of integrating Macro Technol­ogies and Superior Products into the ECI group. “Our primary goal is to continue providing the highest level of support throughout this time and maintain our high levels of quality and customer service.”
