The acquisition enhances Methode's existing power distribution business, Network Bus Products, by bringing a complimentary product portfolio and diverse customer base within the computer, telecommunications, medical and military markets. Methode plans to shift Cableco's manufacturing operations to its facility in Reynosa, Mexico. Cableco's trailing 12-month revenues were approximately $6.5 million.
