SPICEWOOD, Texas, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Abracon LLC, (Abracon) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of AEL Crystals Ltd, a privately held frequency control supplier headquartered in Surrey, England.

"We are excited to join these two frequency control companies together as we enhance our presence in the European market with the addition of a very knowledgeable AEL team. One key strategic objective for Abracon has been to position a hard site in Europe with a service center.
