ENDICOTT — i3 Electronics, Inc., the firm that acquired the former Endicott Interconnect Technologies last October, has announced the layoff of 28 employees.
“This reduction is necessary due to lower-than-expected sales orders and unrealized government funding,” Robert Nead, president of i3 Electronics, said in a statement emailed to CNYBJ.com, the website of The Central New York Business Journal.
The firm’s goal is to make the “right business decisions” that position i3 Electronics for the future of advanced manufacturing, Nead said.
