NEWARK, NY--(Marketwire - August 24, 2010) - IEC Electronics Corp. (
Maffei, a known champion in Small Business advocacy, applauded IEC for its ongoing expansion creating jobs for hundreds of people in New York's 25th District. "Congratulations to the IEC Electronics team for performing so well during such challenging economic times in Upstate New York and being one of the top employers in Wayne County," stated Maffei.
A tour of IEC's 300,000 square foot Newark facility provided Congressman Maffei and his staff a firsthand look at how IEC is putting people to work in his district. IEC is a premier provider of complex circuit card assemblies, cable and wire harness assemblies and advanced electronic systems. Numerous Military and Defense contractors rely on IEC's high-tech capabilities and expertise in building the industry's most complicated and advanced electronic assemblies.
One of Maffei's main goals is to promote economic growth by bringing jobs to this region, especially to Small Businesses. The HIRE (Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment) Act, is one of several bills congress has passed to assist Small Businesses in creating jobs. He already has secured millions of dollars in defense contracts for local businesses that produce cutting-edge products for the Military.
