The Quebec Manufacturing Fund L.P. (QMF), a partnership sponsored by the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, has announced a $12 million investment in Triton Electronik Inc., a provider of electronic contract design and manufacturing (CDM) services. As part of a total injection of $15 million, the QMF investment was used to acquire the assets of a competitor, Positron Technologies, and to increase the company's working capital so that it can continue to grow organically and through acquisitions. The resulting entity and synergy will transform Triton Electronik into a Canadian leader among mid-size CDM providers in Eastern North America."Coming at a time of growing Asian competition and a strong Canadian dollar, the Triton and Positron merger will create a solid Canadian player with the critical mass required to become a leader among mid-size CDM providers in Eastern North America," said Claude Couvrette, a partner of the Quebec Manufacturing Fund L.P. "The purpose of our investment is to position Triton so it can fully capitalize on this opportunity through organic growth and acquisitions.""This marks the beginning of a new phase in the relationship between Triton Electronik and the Caisse.
