Ei Electronics

The strategic decision to maintain all manufacturing in Shannon has been key to building the quality and service reputation of our brand throughout our history. Aico, appointed UK distributor in 1990 became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group in 2004. Other direct sales, marketing and support subsidiaries were later established in Germany, France, Poland and the USA

A growing network of value-added partners now accounts for sales to over 30 countries, with an ever-expanding global footprint of customers throughout Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Africa, South East Asia and Australasia.

With 100% manufacturing located in Shannon, Ei today represents an exemplar of the fully integrated, state of the art manufacturing facility. We continue to build on this strong tradition and heritage of manufacturing excellence, as our business expands and brings exciting new challenges on a global stage
