Who We Are
Building Smarter, Faster, U.S.-Based Solutions Since 1993
For more than 3 decades, customers have trusted DEM to design and manufacture rugged electronic components that meet the highest standards.
Our History
Founded in 1993, DEM began as an integrated design and manufacturing business with a focus on injection molding.
Over the years, we evolved into a full-service electro-mechanical design and manufacturing firm that delivers complete turnkey solutions and takes complex products from concept to production.
Expanding Our Core Capabilities
We began by specializing in custom cabling and communications accessories for military and law enforcement.
By the early 2000s, our capabilities expanded to include full electronic manufacturing and eventually advanced technologies like additive manufacturing. This helped clients reduce lead times and bring products to market faster.
Launching DEM Medical
In 2024, we acquired Virtec Medical and launched DEM Medical. Our goal: design and manufacture Class I and II medical devices, bringing our engineering expertise and quality-first mindset we're known for.
