  • Ransomware claim: Bi Link (thegentlemen)

    bi-link.com Revenue $380.2 Million Bi-Link US precision manufacturer founded in 1961 (HQ Bloomingdale, IL), making metal stampings and injection-molded plastics with in-house tooling and assembly for automotive, medical, wireless, and consumer electronics OEMs. It owns plants in Shanghai, Nanning, Mexico (Juárez), and a new Vietnam site (2024), offering prototype-to-production under one roof. Revenue isn’t reliably public — broker estimates range wildly from ~$10M to $50M, but a TaiPEX filing suggests ~$5M+/month after consolidation. The critical development: in October 2025 family owners agreed to sell the company to Taiwan-listed Donpon Precision, closed and consolidated from Jan 2026. Despite the site still claiming “family-owned”, control is now Donpon’s, and long-time CEO Tom Harris has exited. Certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IATF 16949) support real OEM work (e.g. Teleflex via a 3D Systems case)
