Pulse Engineering Reports Acquisition of LK Products

Pulse Engineering Inc. (San Diego, CA), a manufacturer of passive electronic magnetic-based components, reported that it has expanded its wireless communications product offering through the acquisition of LK Products Oy (Kempele, Finland), a producer of cellular and non-cellular antennas and integrated modules for mobile handsets. The acquisition positions Pulse as a major supplier of handset antennas, building on its comprehensive line of RF magnetic components for use in wireless and RF applications.

"LK has an innovative product portfolio and a team of extremely talented people. Pulse's global infrastructure and manufacturing expertise will help grow LK's business beyond handsets into a wide variety of devices and applications," said Pulse President John Kowalski.
