Hello,

Up until at least 1995, Western Microelectronics, Inc. was located at
2665 Villa Creek Drive, Suite 214, Dallas, TX 75234. I do not have a
'phone number for the company, even an out-of-date one.

The company is no longer situated there, and mail sent to it at that
address is returned with "no forwarding address".

I have Googled "Western Microelectronics, Inc.", but have been unable
to locate its new address. Further, I have used reverse directories,
but to no avail.

My inability to find any *current* information about the company leads
me to believe, though I may be mistaken, that it no longer exists
under that name.

I wish to know the current status of the company. For example, but not
limited to, was it a non-US company that ceased operations in America,
did it merge with another company, was it the object of a hostile
take-over, was it discharged in bankruptcy, was it a US company that
moved its operations overseas, etc.?

In addition to learning its *current* status, I look forward to
obtaining the full names, postal addresses, telephone numbers, fax
numbers (if possible) and e-mail addresses (if possible) of the
President, CEO, Chairman of the Board, Secretary/Treasuer, Chief
Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the company that now
owns the assets of Western Microelectronics, Inc., if applicable.

Lastly, I would appreciate knowing the sources that you accessed in
order to address this question.

Thank you.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 22 Aug 2006 15:45 PDT

Hello webvisitor-ga,

I?ve found some confusing information about what might have happened
to Western Microelectronics, Inc. I?m posting the information to see
if makes sense to you and to see if what I?ve found will help you.

According to some press releases and SEC filings, Reptron Electronics,
Inc. of Tampa, FL acquired a California company named Western
Microelectronics in 1995.

Searching for additional information about Reptron and Western
Microelectronics shows the acquired company?s name to be a division of
Western Micro Technology, Inc. of Saratoga, CA.

Please take a look at these links and let me know if you think the
connection between Reptron Electronics and Western Microelectronics is
convincing to you. If it is, I will find the current contact
information you were looking for.

I look forward to your clarification.

Reptron 1Q sales up 54%, net flat. (Company Financial Information)
Electronic News; 4/29/1996

CEO Michael L. Musto said: "The two distribution businesses acquired
in 1995, Cronin Electronics in New England and Western
Microelectronics in California, impacted year-to-year comparisons.
Revenues generated from Reptron's Distribution business increased 75.6
percent over the prior year period, with sales from locations existing
before the acquisitions increasing 24.4 percent. Both companies
acquired in 1995 were unprofitable when they were purchased. The
acquired New England locations are now profitable and we continue to
make progress on returning the acquired West Coast operations to
profitability."

Hello czh,

Thank you for providing the information to date.

Upon reviewing the information that you posted as well as the
hyperlinked articles, it appears that some of the assets of the
company were sold to Reptron Electronics, Inc. of Tampa, FL while
others remained within a division of Western Micro Technology, Inc. of
Saratoga, CA.

Confusing indeed!

Considering that there are now two companies owning assets of Western
Microelectronics, Inc., the path that I wish to follow is to contact
the above-noted officers of each company.

As requested, please provide full names, postal addresses, telephone
numbers, fax numbers (if possible) and e-mail addresses (if possible)
of the President, CEO, Chairman of the Board, Secretary/Treasurer,
Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of Reptron
Electronics, Inc. of Tampa, FL and Western Micro Technology, Inc. of
Saratoga, CA.

If either or both companies have, by now, only a registered agent for
service of process, kindly supply as much contact information as
possible.

Thank you.

Hello again webvisitor-ga,

I?m glad the information I found about the company you?re looking for
has been helpful. Here is the information you requested on the
successor companies to Western Microelectric, Inc.

The information for Reptron Electronics is fairly straightforward. The
information for Western Micro is much more complex as the company was
renamed, sold and merged repeatedly since 1995. The capsule summary is
as follows:

1995 -- Western Micro Technologies, Inc. moves from Saratoga, CA to
Campbell, CA after sale of electronics components division to Reptron.

1998 ? Company changed its name to Savoir Technology Group, Inc.

2000 ? Avnet, Inc. buys Savoir Technology Group and its operations are
folded into Avnet?s Computer Marketing Group (CMG) and Avnet Applied
Computing Group (AAC) with Savoir?s IBM distribution business is
assigned to Hall-Mark Global Solutions, a division of AAC.

After 2000 it is difficult to see how the former Western Micro/Savoir
operations continued as part of Avnet. I suggest that you contact the
company?s Investor Relations department to get the information you
need.

In addition to the information I?ve already listed in my clarification
request, I?m including the results of my search in following the
threads on the various incarnations of Western Micro through it?s many
successor organizations since 1995. The key company officers, address
and phone numbers are listed for both Reptron and Avnet so that you
can contact them for whatever additional information you need.

I trust that the information I?ve provided will help with your
project. Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification if anything
I?ve provided is confusing or needs expansion.

Wishing you well.

Western Micro Leaves 
Saratoga's second-largest employer, Western Micro Technology,
announced that it was leaving town. It sold its electronic components
division to Reptron Electronics of Florida. The remaining computer
systems division moved from Saratoga to offices in Campbell. Reptron
planned to finish Western Micro's lease at its offices on Saratoga

business with existing operations in San Jose. As part of the sale,
former Western Micro CEO Ron Mabry moved to Reptron as vice president.

Western Micro is a prime example of a company that's done both. At

Hello webvisitor-ga,

I'm glad the information I found was helpful. Thank you for the
affirmations, the five stars and generous tip.

I would be happy to work on your future projects. I suggest that you
put my name in the Subject line if you want me to handle a specific
questionm like this.

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=752997

If you're in a hurry, you can set a time limit in the body of the
question, thus: "This question is reserved for czh-ga for the first 24
(48, etc.) hours."

We have many researchers from all over the world so if the company
information exists it's likely that we will be able to find it.

I look forward to your future questions.

~ czh ~

Hello czh,

Thank you very much for your answer. It was very thorough and comprehensive. 

Ideally, I would need to contact only one person; however, in light of
the many corporate changes that you described, it's clear that
communication will be made with several individuals before my
objective can be met.

In light of my not realizing how much time would be needed to address
my question, I wish to augment your compensation by $20.00.
Furthermore, since my next question will deal with online, hard-copy
and human sources/resources in order to become an expert in answering
questions about US, Canadian, UK, European, Chinese, Japanese, Hong
Kong, etc. mergers and acquisitions, may I call upon you to answer it,
if you so wish, or will the question be available to whomever locks it
first? Please advise.

Once again, thank you for your answer. Much appreciated!

WebVisitor
