As it rebrands its subsidiary as Flip Electronics Manufacturing Services, the company is reinforcing its commitment to obsolescence management.
ATLANTA—Flip Electronics is rebranding its subsidiary, Resurgent Manufacturing Services, as Flip Electronics Manufacturing Services (FMS), the company announced recently.
Flip Electronics is an authorized distributor of obsolete semiconductors and electronic components. The company acquired Resurgent Semiconductor in January 2023, expanding its obsolescence management portfolio with extended-life manufacturing services for obsolete and end-of-life (EOL) semiconductor components, according to a release from Flip Electronics.
Initially rebranded as Resurgent Manufacturing Services under the Flip umbrella, the subsidiary’s transition to Flip Electronics Manufacturing Services is said to reflect a natural evolution, reinforcing Flip’s dedication to “Making Obsolescence Obsolete.” This commitment is demonstrated through authorized distribution, extended-life semiconductor manufacturing, and comprehensive EOL planning and mitigation services, the company said in the release.
“FMS, formerly Resurgent, enables us to bridge the gap between the lifecycle of semiconductor components and the lifecycles of products that rely on them,” said Jason Murphy, CEO of Flip Electronics, in a statement. “We provide customers with trusted and reliable access to certified parts from [the] original component manufacturer (OCM), ensuring performance as specified. These parts are fully form-fit-function compatible with the original manufacturer’s datasheet, reducing risks from gray market procurement, component shortages, and costly redesigns.”
According to the release, Flip Electronics Manufacturing Services holds licensing agreements with top global semiconductor manufacturers to produce obsolete and end-of-life electronic components. Using the same wafer fabrication, assembly, and testing tools, along with licensed test software, Flip is said to deliver “authentic 1:1 drop-in replacements—never emulations—within a fabless manufacturing model.” By ensuring that all components meet the form, fit, and function specifications detailed in the original manufacturer’s datasheet, the approach reportedly guarantees “exceptional reliability, quality, and performance.”
“The partnership between Flip and Resurgent has been exceptional,” said Duker Dapper, vice president and general manager of Flip Electronics Manufacturing Services, in the release. “As envisioned, each team’s expertise and capabilities complement one another with a singular goal—to help companies across all industries successfully navigate obsolescence and reliably extend their products’ lifecycles.
“As a unified front, our authorized manufacturer relationships, global supply chain expertise, and extended semiconductor manufacturing solutions provide customers with the proactive EOL mitigation strategies they need to address the growing challenges of obsolescence,” Dapper added.
According to Flip Electronics, it has responded to industry shortages and product obsolescence since its founding, in 2015, by “delivering tailored supply chain solutions to OEMs and contract manufacturers worldwide.”
“Leveraging robust supplier partnerships and deep expertise, Flip integrates factory-direct components with proactive end-of-life mitigation strategies to deliver dependable solutions for the military, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors,” the company said. “By sourcing hard-to-find, authorized components, Flip extends product lifecycles, prevents costly production halts or redesigns, and mitigates risks associated with counterfeit materials and gray market uncertainties, ensuring reliable, timely, and cost-effective component solutions.”
