About Positronic

Positronic is an electronic manufacturing company that focuses on the design and production of electronic connectors for use in military, aerospace, telecommunications, medical, industrial, and test equipment applications. The company is based in Springfield, Missouri, and has plants in Puerto Rico, France, China, Singapore, and India, as well as sales offices in all major global markets.

The company was founded in 1966 by Jack Gentry, a former USMC officer and engineer. At first, the company focused on producing electronic components and connectors for the aerospace industry. In 1974, the company moved to Rogersville, Missouri, where it opened three new facilities. Ultimately, the new headquarters and manufacturing plant were destroyed in a fire, forcing the company to return to Springfield. Six months into recovery from the fire, Positronic expanded into Europe, before further opening facilities, in Puerto Rico, Singapore, and India. The company has continued to grow to this day, opening new manufacturing plants and developing new products such as the Positronic D-subminiature connector.
