About
Built in Austin. Trusted Everywhere.
Founded in 1994 by Larry Erickson, Auscon Inc. began in his basement and was officially incorporated in 1996. As demand grew, operations moved to Larry’s garage in 2000, and by 2006, the company expanded again into a barn and garage on his property.
Continued growth led to the addition of rented space in 2012, which was used alongside the barn. In 2017, Auscon moved into a larger 4,500 sq. ft. facility, followed by an expansion in 2020 that added another 1,200 sq. ft. In 2023, all operations were consolidated into a single 12,183 sq. ft. facility, and by 2025, that space expanded once more to 16,345 sq. ft.
Now led by Larry’s son, Brian Erickson, this family-run business has steadily expanded to meet the evolving needs of OEMs across the Midwest and beyond.
An acronym for “Austin Connection,” Auscon was built on the belief that OEMs in Southern Minnesota and the surrounding regions deserve a local, reasonably priced contract manufacturer for their electronic assembly needs. For nearly three decades, we’ve been honored to be one of the most trusted EMS providers in the area.
We’ve built our reputation on delivering high-quality electronic manufacturing services, including wire harnesses, printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, electro-mechanical assemblies, and box builds, with flexibility, consistency, and a strong commitment to customer service. Our customers come from a variety of industries including agriculture, lighting, industrial equipment, and more.
