Calumet Electronics opens new advanced technology center

Houghton, MI - Printed circuit board engineering company Calumet Electronics is opening a new off-site advanced technology center in Houghton.

The center, located next to Michigan Technological University, will serve multiple industries, including aerospace, medical, power, defense, and industrial control markets… and is able to accommodate classified projects that require rigid security protocols.

Calumet Electronics will collaborate with the Michigan Tech to attract talent and formalize co-op programs that will educate the students about the PCB industry.

Tech alumnus Michael Van Rite is the center’s program manager and operations engineer.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
