Quantic™ Electronics, a portfolio company of Arcline Investment Management, announced the acquisition of Planar Monolithics Industries (PMI).

The company was founded to take advantage of the burgeoning demand for monolithic-based products using Hybrid MIC/MMIC technology innovations. For the last 30 years we have been dedicated to developing new technology and products that solve our customers’ difficult design challenges. I would like to thank all the employees that have contributed to our years of success, and I look forward to working as part of the Quantic family to write our next chapter.”

PMI fits the mold perfectly, and I look forward to working with the entire PMI team to help them achieve their growth objectives.”
