About Altek Electronics Inc (A Cyient DLM Company)

Altek Electronics Inc., now operating as a Cyient DLM company, is headquartered in Torrington, Connecticut. The business was founded in 1972 by Stephen Altschuler, an electrical engineer with degrees from the University of Connecticut and Yale University. Altschuler previously held leadership roles at Computer Dynamics and Adage Inc. before establishing Altek to serve the electronics assembly market. The firm provides full-service electronics manufacturing, including surface-mount and through-hole PCB assembly, BGA placement, selective and wave soldering, wire and cable harness fabrication, conformal coating, and box-build system integration. Operations are supported by equipment such as the ERSA Versaflow 3/66 selective soldering system, a PVA6000 conformal coating machine with IR2000 curing oven, and automated component counting and barcode traceability systems. The facility employs more than 130 people and handles programs ranging from prototype runs to full-rate production. Altek serves original equipment manufacturers in the medical, aerospace, defense, telecommunications, industrial/commercial, and transportation sectors. The company was an early adopter of AS9100, achieving “C” level certification and later upgrading to the “D” revision in April 2017. Its quality system is also certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485 for medical devices, and IATF 16949 for automotive, and it maintains ITAR registration for defense-related work. Altschuler’s founding philosophy centered on customer satisfaction, on-time bill payment, and a reputation for reliability. The company states it is dedicated to offering the highest quality electronics at the most competitive price without compromising its core beliefs, a principle that has guided its growth over five decades.
