StenTech Acquires Pentagon EMS to Further Enhance Tooling Capabilities

CLEVELAND and DALLAS, April 21, 2026 - Align Capital Partners' ("ACP") portfolio company StenTech (the "Company"), a leading provider of surface mount technology ("SMT") printing solutions, has announced the acquisition of Pentagon EMS ("Pentagon"). The acquisition expands StenTech's capabilities in precision tooling, CNC machining and complex part manufacturing, enabling improved process control and production efficiency in increasingly demanding assembly environments.

Headquartered near Portland, Oregon, Pentagon enhances StenTech's North American footprint and reinforces the Company's position as a complete partner in precision manufacturing supporting next-generation electronics, aerospace, defense and other high-reliability applications. StenTech customers benefit from improved design-to-production alignment, greater supply chain resilience and localized manufacturing to reduce lead times and operational risk.

Under the StenTech umbrella, Pentagon will retain its brand, product expertise and customer relationships while benefitting from the scale and resources of the broader platform. Rey Sosa, President of Pentagon explains, "For Pentagon, this expands our ability to deliver engineering-driven solutions at scale. Together, we can better support customers with more integrated solutions that directly impact yield, reliability and overall production performance."

"This acquisition is about advancing engineering capability and process performance," added Kevin Keene, CEO of StenTech. "By combining Pentagon's tooling and fixture expertise, with our precision manufacturing platform, we are helping customers improve control, consistency and throughput across their operations."

ACP acquired StenTech in May of 2022 and this transaction marks the fifth add-on for the Company. StenTech will continue to evaluate strategic add-ons with a focus on manufacturers of precision thin-metal components serving high-reliability end-markets. Chris Jones, Ervin Cash, Mike Perloski and Ben Bryles worked on the transaction for ACP.
