Based in Flippin, Arkansas (no joke), Actronix is a manufacturer of highly-engineered cable assemblies, wire harnesses and higher level assemblies for industrial customers. The company specializes in products for a variety of industries including medical, instrumentation, communications and security and defense. Its customers are household names.

With visionary tactics CEO, Tim Grant and his team saved the company from the brink of bankruptcy, and found a way to sustain American jobs, elevate quality standards and influence the community around them. In just four short years the company became debt free, with cash in the bank and a substantial line of credit to support future growth.

Actronix is a solid, quality driven, socially-conscious company that is becoming as well known for its commitment to detail and quality control as it is for its unorthodox methods of getting there – which includes the company’s story of resourcefulness and community impact with the creation of a second production facility on the grounds of McPherson Women’s Unit Prison in Newport, Ark.

Through an innovative partnership with the Arkansas Department of Corrections, Actronix provides inmates with specialized training and financial means for victim restitution and child support -- all aimed at preparing them for positive, productive re-entry into society. Upon release, former inmates now have the potential to be debt free and leave prison with left-over earnings. Moreover, each is presented an offer to work at the Actronix Flippin facility.

It really is a Made In America story worth sharing.
