Cristek Interconnects, LLC. is a genuine American success story...
Armed with little more than a fistful of credit cards, a $25,000 contract from Litton and a small loan from her first boss, 23-year-old Cristi Cristich founded Cristek in 1985 to serve the military and aerospace industries and their warfighters. Over 25 years later, Cristek boasts a diverse and experienced management team, over 100 employees and more than 56,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities in Southern California, New England and Northern Nevada.
From its inception until now, Cristek Interconnects has consistently earned the trust of its customers by combining solid interconnect design and manufacturing expertise with a "can-do" entrepreneurial spirit. As a result, they have been named Subcontractor of the Year for Region IX by the US Small Business Administration and have earned numerous industry and customer awards.
Cristek's consistent, near-perfect performance, has earned it a position as preferred supplier to several major military/aerospace prime contractors and is a testament to its ability to operate a process disciplined and metric- based business while maintaining its customer-focused, entrepreneurial roots.
