Greg, A big trend in the industry is for companies to outsource (i.e. hire a subcontractor) more and more of their manufacturing needs. These needs include IC and printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, PCB assembly, system assembly and testing. Anticipating this growth in the outsourcing business, The DII Group, an umbrella organization, has been collecting companies that provide these and other manufacturing services. They compete with companies like SCI Systems, Solectron and the handful of companies that build custom IC's. The biggest name, so to speak, within the DII Group's umbrella is a company called Orbit Semiconductor which builds custom IC's for their clients. I have not bought any stock in this company, but have been watching them as a potential longer-term holding. Check out their website for more info: diigroup.com
