K&F Electro
nics is part of a consolidating breed, but only because it's doing the gobbling. The Fraser-based circuit board maker just bought Ultima Circuits of Sacramento, California. That leaves K&F Electronics as one of an estimated 240 companies left in the circuit board manufacturing industry. The move is also expected to help the 27-year-old company expand its staff from its current size of 25 people. It hopes to add up to five CAD and tech people within the next year. "I definitely see that helping," says Rick Kincaid, president of K&F Electronics. "We don't want to leave Michigan." He says one of the main reasons for staying is the high talent levels and quality of life in Metro Detroit -- including the snow and the distinguishable seasons that bring and take it away each year. "You don't get that in other states," Kincaid says. "You get a one-season shot in California and Florida and elsewhere."
