Saline Lectronics, Inc. (SLI) operates as a contract electronics manufacturer, providing a comprehensive suite of services from its 110,000-square-foot facility in Saline, Michigan. Founded in 2002, the company has established itself as a provider of high-mix, low- to medium-volume electronic assemblies. The business was led by Mario Sciberras as President and CEO, who joined in 2002 after a career as a Senior Vice President at Michigan National Bank. His son, Jason Sciberras, who has been with the company since 2003, now serves as the President of the Saline division, having held numerous roles across the organization.
The company's core business involves the manufacturing of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and electro-mechanical box builds. Its services cover the entire product lifecycle, including engineering, design for manufacturability (DFM), prototyping, testing, and direct fulfillment. Saline Lectronics serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in demanding, high-reliability sectors such as aerospace and defense, medical, industrial controls, and the oil and gas industry. The company's business model is centered on providing tailored, full-service electronics solutions, from initial design consultation to final product packaging and direct shipment to end customers.
A significant milestone in the company's history occurred in November 2020, when Saline Lectronics was acquired by Emerald Electronics Manufacturing Services (Emerald EMS), a portfolio company of the private equity firm New Water Capital. This acquisition was a strategic move to expand Emerald's geographic footprint into the Midwest and enhance its manufacturing capabilities. For Saline Lectronics, the partnership provided access to expanded capacity and lower-cost manufacturing options through Emerald's facilities in Shenzhen, China, while continuing to operate under its own brand.
