MCM

Hey guys, 

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I wanted to give you all an update on what is going on.

MCM Electronics is merging with Newark Electronics (Our sister company). We will all fall under the Newark name, and only a handful of our products will be picked up by Newark.

Unfortunately, due to the merger and duplication of jobs, many of the MCM employees, including myself, will be laid off.

I appreciate the support of you guys and your willingness to accept me into the community.

If you ever need to get in touch with me for whatever reason, please reach out to [email protected]

Best Regards,

Geoff Schneider

    I've considered it. 

    Just not sure which direction I want to go now.

    I've been heavily involved with 3D printing recently and would love to find a career doing just that.

    Newark should still carry the speaker for a bit, but I don't imagine they will be making any new updates.

    Well now this just absolutely blows! The job more than the speakers. Sorry Geoff!

    I asked Geoff a similar question. Looks like for now they will carry the newer stuff like the KB series, SO, etc for now. Those are exclusive to MCM so no one else will be carrying them at least for now.

    Sad news. To be honest though, I have tried and failed numerous times the last three days to put together an order on the MCM website - most of the time the site was down when I went to open it, the other times it glitched out, timed out, or went down during use. This has occurred quite often over the last two years. Maybe Newark web managers can address that. 

    Good luck Geoff. I have been there many times myself, curse of manufacturing dependency - and I imagine retail is no different.

    Geoff you were the first one I thought of when I heard this sad news, but as others have said you will land on your feet and be better off, you got some great experience that you can build off of.  

    If if you ever need anything you have my number, as an employer of an engineering and manufacturing firm I'd be happy to give you a glowing reference as well.

    Thanks Javad, that means a lot!

    I have had a few interviews, and I'm waiting to see what happens, but I feel like most people here will like what I seem to have in store ;)
