Simi Valley Company Buys Chatsworth Unit
Cambrian Systems Inc., based in Simi Valley, has acquired the flying height-testing equipment unit of Chatsworth’s Pacific Precision Laboratories. If you think that has anything to do with aerospace, think again.
Flying height testing is computer-industry talk for measuring the performance of hard disk drives, says Joe Wallace, a Cambrian vice president who will become president of Cambrian Pacific Technologies. That will be a new company to combine the height-testing capabilities of Cambrian and its newly acquired unit.
Cambrian Pacific will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Cambrian Systems and will use its parent’s plant. The new concern will have an initial payroll of 14, 10 of whom will be transferred from Chatsworth to Simi Valley.
Neither Cambrian Systems nor JMAR Industries, a San Diego company that owns Pacific Precision, would disclose terms of the purchase.
