Private‑equity‑backed StenTech, a surface‑mount technology specialist, announced the acquisition of Oregon‑based toolmaker Pentagon EMS. The deal represents StenTech’s fifth bolt‑on since Align Capital Partners bought the company in May 2022, expanding its manufacturing footprint in the Pacific Northwest. The integration will preserve Pentagon’s brand identity while leveraging StenTech’s larger sales network to target automotive and consumer electronics customers.

Pentagon EMS, founded in 2005, supplies precision tooling and assembly services to contract manufacturers. By joining StenTech, the firm gains access to capital for equipment upgrades and a broader client base. Existing contracts remain unchanged, reassuring customers that delivery schedules and quality standards will continue uninterrupted.

StenTech’s acquisition spree reflects Align Capital Partners’ strategy to consolidate niche manufacturers under a single platform. Earlier this year the firm added two PCB assembly companies, positioning itself as a one‑stop shop for electronics producers seeking rapid prototyping and volume production. The move could pressure independent toolmakers to seek similar partnerships.

With the Pentagon EMS deal closed, StenTech now operates facilities in Oregon, Texas and New York, boosting its capacity by roughly 15 percent. The expanded footprint strengthens its bid for larger OEM contracts and gives Align Capital Partners a clearer path to a potential exit through a strategic sale or IPO.
