PITTSBURGH, December 20, 2019—Intervala, LLC, a full-service manufacturer of high-reliability, precision electronic and electromechanical products, today announced its acquisition of Varitron Hudson in Hudson, New Hampshire. The acquisition enlarges Intervala’s manufacturing footprint in the Northeast region of the U.S. and expands the Company’s global customer base.
The acquired New Hampshire operation specializes in high-technology electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and provides Intervala with expanded capacity to manufacture complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and other high-reliability electronic assemblies. The acquisition also enhances Intervala’s customer and market diversity through the addition of several top-tier customers in the industrial, medical and military markets.
EMS industry veteran Jon Saunders, who has led the New Hampshire operation since 2016, will stay on to run the location for Intervala. Saunders has more than 25 years of experience in the electronics manufacturing arena and a proven track record of successfully leading EMS operations.
“Intervala’s acquisition of Varitron Hudson is an exciting and important step in our strategy to grow and expand our presence in the Northeast region,” said Teresa Huber, president and CEO. “In keeping with Intervala’s culture, our new Hudson, N.H., operation is very customer-focused, and we believe it will be a good fit in both customers and people. The capable Hudson team has built successful, long-standing relationships with their customers. We welcome them to Intervala and look forward to serving them with our unwavering commitment to customer excellence.”

It was great fun to have students from Norwin Middle School with us last week to kick off filming for their “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” video entry. The kids looked like pros interviewing and filming Director of Operations Joe Benz about what Intervala does in the manufacturing arena. They are participating in an annual student video contest sponsored by Catalyst Connection. The STEAM-focused program pairs up middle school students across Pennsylvania with local companies to create a new perspective on the exciting career opportunities that exist in manufacturing. Voting for the best student video will take place in early February with winners announced later that month.
