Benchmark Electronics Inc is an EMS, ODM, and OEM company[4] based in Angleton, TX in Greater Houston.[5] It provides contract manufacturing services.
History
Initially a subsidiary of Intermedics, a medical implant manufacturer, Benchmark was sold to Electronic Investors Corporation in 1986.[5]

In 2007 Benchmark Electronics acquired Pemstar Inc, a contract manufacturer.[5]
