(NASDAQ: PLXS), a leading electronics engineering, manufacturing and aftermarket services provider for customers in mid-to-low volume, higher complexity market sectors, announced today that it has achieved its first certification to the International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS) at their Penang-Riverside manufacturing facility located in Malaysia.
