Richardson Electronics, Ltd.

We have manufacturing at our facilities located in LaFox, Illinois, Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Donaueschingen, Germany.

We serve customers in alternative energy, healthcare, aviation, broadcast, communications, industrial, marine, medical, military, scientific, and semiconductor markets. The Company’s strategy is to provide specialized technical expertise and “engineered solutions” based on our core engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Company products and services include design-in support, systems integration, prototype design and manufacturing, testing, logistics, and aftermarket technical service and repair. Our products include electron tubes and related components, microwave generators, subsystems used in semiconductor manufacturing and visual technology solutions. These products are used to control, switch or amplify electrical power signals, or are used as display devices in a variety of industrial, commercial, medical and communication applications.

On January 24, 2025, the Company sold a substantial portion of the assets of its Healthcare business to DirectMed Imaging, LLC (“DirectMed”), a Delaware limited liability company, and entered into an exclusive 10-year global supply agreement in which Richardson will supply DirectMed with repaired Siemens CT X-ray tubes. Additionally, the Company will continue manufacturing a limited quantity of ALTA CT X-ray tubes exclusively for DirectMed. A description of this transaction, which resulted in a total loss of $5.1 million being recorded for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, is provided in Note 11, Disposal of Healthcare Assets and Other Charges.
