History
Elpakco Incorporated began in 1984 as a value-added
distributor, specializing in loose pins,
receptacles, and machine contact type sockets.
Shortly after the company's inception, it became
apparent that the most effective way to develop and
service customers was to sell directly under the
Elpakco name. Elpakco transitioned into
manufacturing and we produced our first catalog.
With that change in direction, Elpakco developed
into a niche manufacturer with an excellent
reputation for producing a top quality product line
with fast turn-around times.
As Elpakco's product line and customer
base developed, so did our ability to change with
the times. As the market brought closure to many
competitors' specialty divisions, Elpakco
capitalized on the downsizing trend to acquire the
necessary machinery to fit Elpakco's manufacturing
needs. Specialty molds and equipment came from the
biggest names in the industry; Cambion, EMC, Key
Precision, Precision Metal Products, Wells
Electronics, Bic and Augat's Swiss Turning Machines,
for example. Elpakco currently owns and operates
over 150 Swiss turning machines with the necessary
backup for processing parts from raw materials to
finished connectors.
Since our inception the client base has
reached global proportions and we have established
Far East sources for those standard cross-the-board
items to make our catalog one of the most complete
of its kind in the industry.
Current Operations
Elpakco currently runs operations in Westford,
Massachusetts, Ashland, New Hampshire and Bangkok,
Thailand. Elpakco Incorporated is headquartered in
Westford, Massachusetts, about 30 minutes outside of
Boston. The Westford headquarters is where our
sales, accounting and assembly departments are
located. The Ashland, NH location is a machine shop
that runs our custom jobs and many of our standard
parts. The Bangkok facility runs some of the most
standard Elpakco parts and also performs some
assembly duties. Elpakco employs 25 people in the
Westford and Ashland locations.
Quality
Elpakco Incorporated prides itself on its top
quality products. Many processes are in place to
ensure customer satisfaction with every order. While
we are not an ISO certified company we have our own
company policies regarding our processes and quality
control. We can supply certification and test data
when required and our quality control department
ensures that our customers receive only the highest
quality work.

The Future
Elpakco Incorporated looks forward to the future. We
are constantly re-inventing our product line. As
parts continue to become more intricate in design
and smaller in size, Elpakco is confident that
companies will turn to us to provide top quality
products and engineering know-how to get the job
done.
