WOODLAND, Calif. - February 13, 2012 - The Econco Division of Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) has acquired the business of Freeland Products, Inc., a Louisiana-based company that repairs and rebuilds 
vacuum electron devices for the communications, industrial, scientific and medical markets. CPI Econco Division and Freeland Products provide similar services to customers in shared end markets.
Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, CPI Econco Division has acquired all of the inventory, equipment, supplies and substantially all of the other assets of Freeland Products for an undisclosed sum. 
CPI Econco Division will integrate these assets into its Woodland, Calif. facility, and will run the business from that location. The acquisition was funded entirely from CPI's cash on hand.
"Econco and Freeland Products have long shared a commitment to providing customers with high-quality rebuilt tubes and exceptional service, and Econco intends to continue this commitment to our customers going forward. 
We look forward to working with Freeland's customers," said David Elliott, president of CPI Econco Division. "In addition, I would personally like to thank Joel Freeland and the Freeland family for their contributions to our industry over the past seven decades."
"I am pleased to have such a worthy and dedicated successor to the business started by my grandfather in 1940,"said Joel Freeland, president of Freeland Products.
 "I am fully confident in Econco's ability to meet the future needs of Freeland's customers and to provide them with the excellent products and services they have come to expect from both of our companies."
