Bulgin was previously owned by Equistone Partners Europe, a European mid-market private equity firm.
"By welcoming Bulgin to Infinite Electronics’ growing brand portfolio, we are better positioned to meet the increasing demand for reliable connectivity solutions for harsh environments,” said Infinite Electronics President and Chief Executive Officer Penny Cotner. “Bulgin’s focus on mission-critical, customisable components with outstanding design and customer support aligns with our own longstanding reputation for delivering our customers what they need, when they need it most.”
Bulgin has considerable experience in designing, developing and manufacturing IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K harsh environment connectivity solutions for end-users across a wide range of industries. The business focuses on bespoke services and custom capabilities with quick prototyping and a Rapid Response Team (RRT) to address customer needs.
Since Equistone’s acquisition of the business in 2019, Bulgin has grown significantly, opening a new site in Tunis, Tunisia and a new headquarters in Cambridge, UK.
“Joining Infinite Electronics’ portfolio provides the Bulgin brand with the scale to leverage opportunities required to accelerate business growth globally,” said John Wilson, Bulgin’s Chief Executive Officer. “Infinite Electronics and Bulgin share much in common, such as ambitious global growth plans and customer-centric values. This is an exciting milestone in the Bulgin journey.”
Bulgin currently more than 600 distributor locations spanning 60 countries and six continents. It employs 680 people globally, including its UK headquarters, operations in Tunisia, and Santa Fe Springs, Calif., as well as a presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
