Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dobson Park's subsidiary, Elgar Electronics, has agreed with Switchcraft, a subsidiary of the Raytheon Company, to buy assets and take on the debts of Sorensen, a division of Switchcraft, for dollars 4.9m.

Elgar Electronics mainly designs and makes AC-programmable power supplies. More than half of total sales are to military end-users. Sorensen, based in Paxton, Illinois, is a large supplier of DC-programmable power supplies with about 80 per cent of its total sales to non-military end-user markets.

Elgar Electronics will also enter an agreement for Switchcraft to make Sorensen products on a sub- contract basis on behalf of Elgar for up to nine months. The Sorensen business will be integrated with Elgar's established operations in San Diego, California.

Elgar also manufactures a range of DC-programmable power supplies and portable ruggedised universal power supplies.
