mrpowerFlex bought this former Ericsson power module business. A CM making its own brand of products is a new thing in the industry, certainly not a good thing for other businesses in the competing sector. CMs will make everything dirt cheap and are the killers of a healthy business food chain. However, they might not do it well enough to sustain the business. They tend to provide poor services to their customers as they just don't have the mindset and the structure to do so. Their low cost mind tends to drive their good engineers away which will diminish their competitiveness over time. Anyway, stay away from these guys if you could.
