BJG Electronics Group Announces the Acquisition of Intro Corporation

Leave a comment



RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Long Island, N.Y.- based electronics distributor and Rockwood portfolio company BJG Electronics Group (“BJG”) today announced the acquisition of Intro Corporation (“Intro”). Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Melbourne, Fla., Intro is a supplier of connectors, contacts and accessories to the commercial aviation and aerospace industry. Focused on meeting demand for quick turn transactions, the business is primarily focused on the commercial aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector.

The transaction is the latest in a year of tremendous growth for BJG Electronics Group, which now has closed three acquisitions in the past ten months. In February 2019, the company acquired Connector Tech LLC, a Montana-based value-added distributor of high-reliability electronic interconnect products. In October 2019, it acquired Whitmor/Wirenetics, a Valencia, Calif.-based provider of high-performance wire, cable and tubing to the military, aerospace and space industry.

The Intro Corporation acquisition further allows BJG to achieve its goal of creating a “one-stop” solution for OEMs, harness houses and box builders to fulfill their entire bills of materials while building one of the largest full-line distributors of mil-aero electronic components in North America.

“The Intro Corp acquisition fills a gap in BJG’s line card around commercial aviation including its highly regarded RMS connector line” said Rick Flora, CEO of The BJG Electronics Group. “BJG is excited to leverage Intro’s transaction-based approach and quick-turn expertise to establish a beachhead that will better serve the MRO marketplace,” he added.

“The fit between BJG and Intro was obvious” said Doug Chagnon, the General Manager and former owner of Intro. “The ability to partner with the BJG team to continue to provide our customers with the level of service and product availability they have come to expect from us over the last forty plus years while also being able to provide our customers with direct franchised access to a larger range of products including connectors, switches, relays, circuit breakers, and wire seemed like the natural next step for us as a company”

Intro will remain a stand-alone business unit serving its unique customers while also adding meaningful cross-selling opportunities to both Intro and BJG legacy customers.

Based in Ronkonkoma, NY, BJG Electronics is a leading global supplier of interconnect and electromechanical products to the world’s leading OEMs in the defense, commercial aviation, business aviation, space, oil & gas, and industrial markets.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Allen McCulloch as UroLift® Center of Excellence

Leave a comment


News Image

“Dr. Allen McCulloch has earned the UroLift Center of Excellence designation for his dedication to improving the lives of men who previously suffered from BPH symptoms and delivering superior patient outcomes with the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson


PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Allen McCulloch, MD, Adult & Pediatric Urology in Farmington, NM, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. McCulloch has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“Dr. Allen McCulloch has earned the UroLift Center of Excellence designation for his dedication to improving the lives of men who previously suffered from BPH symptoms and delivering superior patient outcomes with the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit.

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

About NeoTract | Teleflex Interventional Urology

A wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated, the Interventional Urology Business Unit is dedicated to developing innovative, minimally invasive and clinically effective devices that address unmet needs in the field of urology. Our initial focus is on improving the standard of care for patients with BPH using the UroLift System, a minimally invasive permanent implant system that treats symptoms while preserving normal sexual function*1,2.

Stayhealthy Teams Up With Former NBA Player Kareem Rush

Leave a comment


News Image


MONROVIA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Stayhealthy has announced that it has partnered with former NBA basketball player and health education activist, Kareem Rush, and his educational foundation. The joint initiative will leverage Stayhealthy’s mobile education and activity platforms including Color Quest AR, which has been selected by Apple as one of their favorite apps for children, received favorable reviews from many industry journals, and is being downloaded and used in over 180 countries worldwide. In addition, the program will also be using The Body Fact Index, a new platform designed to give the user control of their health and featuring personalized augmented reality representations of the bodily organs. Both will contribute to the Rush Forward Foundation’s programs that provide inner city youth with educational activities about health and wellness.

“Kareem is an icon,” said Ziggy Kormandel, Stayhealthy’s President. “His career as a successful professional athlete playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers and others, has made him a role model who can speak with authority about the benefits of healthy living and activity. We admire his dedication to giving back to his community and are thrilled to be part of the incredible work that he is doing for young people through his foundation.”

“Stayhealthy’s philosophy of educating and engaging children about health is right on point with our work at Rush Forward—especially with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America,” stated Kareem Rush. “The Boys Club is where I first fell in love with basketball. So, bringing in the champions and celebrities who are passing through town is a great way to show kids why keeping active and healthy eating is so important both on and off the court.”

“What Rush Forward is doing with its sports program is a perfect fit with our recent Snack Town All-Stars music videos released through Universal Music Group,” added Stayhealthy CEO, John Collins. “We designed these songs to be performed by characters from the successful Color Quest platform to get children up and dancing, and to learn about healthy foods at the same time. “The Stay Healthy Shake” and recent “Holiday Mashup” have now done over 900,000 views and streams, so families are really responding to the message. It’s also truly gratifying that Kareem agrees that education is entertainment, and the perfect way to engage and impact children for the better.”

Rush Forward was founded three years ago by Kareem Rush, who in addition to being a professional athlete, is also now a certified, personal trainer. The foundation’s mission is to use physical activity to inspire young people and their families to pursue active, healthy lifestyles. This year, Kareem plans on taking his sports curriculum to Africa as part of a sister program in Kenya with the Global One Foundation. The Stayhealthy campaign will benefit the Rush Forward Foundation through a social media “gives back” program that launches this month.

About Stayhealthy, Inc.

I’m looking forward to helping people in this community in a way that is caring, collaborative and compassionate,” Malvea said.

“My mother had Alzheimer’s Disease and both my father and my father in law had vascular dementia. I helped move them through multiple transitions and various stages of care, which required quite a bit of project management. I have a very personal connection to what families go through when they are facing these kinds of transitions and, as the owner of Caring Transitions of Roswell, I have a passion for making that process as smooth and stress free as possible,” Malvea said.

JMJ Phillip Executive Search Releases 2020 Hiring Trends

Leave a comment


News Image

One of the major trends we’ve noticed this year was an increased desire by hiring committees to see a diverse candidate pool, even if it means delaying the extension of an offer to a stellar candidate who has completed the interview process already and performed well.


TROY, Mich. (PRWEB)

JMJ Phillip Executive Search has collected and synthesized executive search and recruiting trends in 2019 to compile a list of the hiring trends anticipated for 2020. The list, an annual tradition for the executive search firm specializing in manufacturing, supply chain, and technology, features numerous insights across hiring, technology, and candidate trends.

“JMJ Phillip experienced a substantial year of growth in 2019, and over the course of the year, we noticed several important trends in recruiting and executive search,” said Kristen Fowler, Vice President at JMJ Phillip. “Each year, we collect executive search trends and report some of the challenges that we’ve seen over the previous year. We’ve seen some trends and swift changes in the industry this year that can potentially impact hiring in 2020.”

“One of the major trends we’ve noticed this year was an increased desire by hiring committees to see a diverse candidate pool, even if it means delaying the extension of an offer to a stellar candidate who has completed the interview process already and performed well. There is a general feeling of not wanting to miss out on candidates who haven’t surfaced in the initial search efforts. As these trends continue into 2020, we can expect that clients will continue to wait to ensure that they have the perfect person, no matter how long it takes,” Fowler continues.

Additional 2020 Hiring Trends insights include:


  • Companies will continue to place a heavy emphasis on hiring a candidate with the personality traits to fit into the company’s culture.

  • Travel is up. Candidates are traveling more around the holiday seasons, slowing down the interview and hiring process.

  • Technology will continue to disrupt and streamline the hiring process, with video methods increasing in prevalence.
