Benchmark Electronics Inc is an EMS, ODM, and OEM company[3] based in Angleton, TX in Greater Houston.[4] It provides contract manufacturing services.

History

Initially a subsidiary of Intermedics, a medical implant manufacturer, Benchmark was sold to Electronic Investors Corporation in 1986.[4]

The company made an IPO in 1990.[4]

In 2007 Benchmark Electronics acquired Pemstar Inc, a contract manufacturer.[4]

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.[4]
