The tender offer secured
Strategically, Transom appears focused on SigmaTron's manufacturing footprint—particularly its five North American facilities among seven global locations. This positioning is especially valuable in today's complex tariff environment where reshoring and near-shoring have become priorities for many electronics companies seeking supply chain stability.
The private equity firm has outlined three primary value creation avenues: operational enhancements, sales growth initiatives, and strategic M&A opportunities. While maintaining SigmaTron's current leadership team headed by Gary Fairhead suggests operational continuity, Transom's involvement signals a more aggressive growth trajectory leveraging its middle-market expertise.
For the broader Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) sector, this transaction reflects ongoing private equity interest in manufacturing assets with established North American operations—a trend likely to continue as companies navigate global supply chain restructuring and seek geographical diversification of production capabilities.

With the closing of the transaction, SigmaTron’s common stock has ceased trading and will no longer be publicly listed.
