[edit] History
Initially a subsidiary of Intermedics, a medical implant manufacturer, Benchmark was sold to Electronic Investors Corporation in 1986.[6]
The company made an IPO in 1990.[6]
In 2007, Benchmark Electronics acquired Pemstar Inc, a contract manufacturer.[6]
Smaller than rivals, including Flextronics and Foxconn, as of 2010 Benchmark may be increasingly seeking to move away from traditional, computing-related EMS products to more-profitable ones like medical devices.[6]
