Full breach record for Bi Link →Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group Thegentlemen on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

bi-link.com Revenue $380.2 Million Bi-Link US precision manufacturer founded in 1961 (HQ Bloomingdale, IL), making metal stampings and injection-molded plastics with in-house tooling and assembly for automotive, medical, wireless, and consumer electronics OEMs. It owns plants in Shanghai, Nanning, Mexico (Juárez), and a new Vietnam site (2024), offering prototype-to-production under one roof. Revenue isn't reliably public — broker estimates range wildly from ~$10M to $50M, but a TaiPEX filing suggests ~$5M+/month after consolidation. The critical development: in October 2025 family owners agreed to sell the company to Taiwan-listed Donpon Precision, closed and consolidated from Jan 2026. Despite the site still claiming "family-owned", control is now Donpon's, and long-time CEO Tom Harris has exited. Certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IATF 16949) support real OEM work (e.g. Teleflex via a 3D Systems case)

Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
