Exponential Technology Group Acquires Braemac Pty Ltd.

DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas & SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Exponential Technology Group (XTG) today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Braemac Pty Ltd., a specialist in product design, development, testing, and the supply of semiconductors, systems, and electronic components. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Braemac is based in Sydney, Australia, with 17 offices globally and offers support from design through to product realization, driving innovation with industry-leading semiconductor and electronic component partners providing extensive design and supply chain management expertise.

“We welcome the Braemac team to the XTG family of companies,” said Glenn Smith, acting President of the Exponential Technology Group. “Braemac brings a very experienced management team and a business model that fits extremely well into XTG’s vision of helping engineers solve technical problems as well as having the experience and expertise to design a customer’s smart product from scratch, and then managing the bill-of-materials and supply chain through production.”
