M-Wave International began as West-Tronics, Inc. in 1972 manufacturing printed circuit boards and building custom test equipment. In the early 80’s, the Company was in full-scale assembly and production in the western suburbs of Chicago. By 1988 the Company had shifted to producing high-performance circuit boards for the telecom industry as Poly Circuits, Inc. the successor to West-Tronics, Inc .

In 1992, a parent company, M-Wave, Inc. was created and successfully became public on the Nasdaq Stock Market. It was during this period of growth that several patented processes for bonding high performance circuit boards using a proprietary adhesive product found a fertile market among certain major telecom companies. However, by 2002, the telecom boom turned bust and Poly Circuits was retired as a manufacturer. M-Wave, Inc. became one of the first virtual manufacturers in the U.S. to partner and source a full-compliment of printed circuit boards leveraging from its long-time Singapore base. It was then that the Company expanded into more than a dozen major industries involving OEM’s and a variety of contract manufacturing customers.
