Mark Dohnalek, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pivot International comments: “It makes strategic sense, integrates our subsidiaries and optimizes our operations. We’ll leverage our talent, capabilities and capacity while maintaining the distinctive subsidiaries in one shared location. We are able to design and engineer, build prototypes, short-run and full-run production locally.”

Pivot International, with global headquarters in Lenexa, Kansas continues its aggressive organic growth as well as subsidiary acquisition growth to meet client expectations and capacity in design, engineering and manufacturing of electronic solutions across a broad range of industries including industrial, security and biometrics, medical, wireless, fitness, scientific instruments such as electric components, touchscreens, consumer goods, transportation, agricultural, environmental, and internet of things (iOt).

Mark Dohnalek affirms, “I am committed to generating jobs, products and revenue in the US, especially in the Kansas City area and Midwest. I am equally committed to ensuring that Pivot has the global capabilities to manufacture in the US, Europe and Asia so that we can deliver the most efficient solution for our clients all over the globe. While many debate the merits of nationalism versus globalism, I pragmatically understand the need for both in our growth strategy.” Pivot views every opportunity as global while leveraging capabilities from all over the world to bring the product to life.

• MCC Electronics
• Electronic Design and Manufacturing (EDM)
