RELEASE DATE: JUNE 2003
New
manufacturer will become the UK and European source
for RF coaxial connectors Main
focus will be design and production of customer specific
RF connector solutions
Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom….June
2003:
A new company, established to design and manufacture
custom-built RF coaxial connector
products for the European market, is announced today.
Intelliconnect,
based at Chelmsford in Essex, will go some way to reverse
recent trends that have seen practically all RF connector
manufacture switched from the UK to offshore production facilities
and the demise of the specialist manufacturer capable of providing
bespoke, customer-specific products.
Managing Director Roy Phillips
has established Intelliconnect to provide the European electronics
and communications industries
with a “much requested” source of affordable, high
quality, UK manufactured RF coaxial connectors.
“
We will specialise in connector solutions” says Phillips, “working
with customers to design and produce RF connectors to their
exact requirements. These will generally be new, unique designs,
but
we are already seeing a lot of interest in re-creating discontinued
products that are still needed but no longer made by the
traditional connector manufacturing base.” He adds.
Intelliconnect
will not impose a minimum order quantity/value so customers
are able to specify and purchase any quantity
from a single connector to a million pieces.
Although the
company’s main focus is custom-designed products,
Intelliconnect will also be producing a range of standard
RF connector products which it believes will be competively
priced and available to meet short delivery times.
Intelliconnect’s
management team has more than 100 collective years experience
within the connector industry - Roy Phillips
is ex. Greenpar and Transradio – so they are well
placed to provide informed opinion on the condition of
today’s
connector industry and the demise of UK and European manufacture
over the past few years.
“What we are continually being told, tells
us that customers prefer local manufacture in the belief that
this will give them better
quality products, on-time delivery and, in the case of
customer-specific solutions, a fast design and prototyping service
supported by
accessible design engineers.
“We aim to meet and even exceed our customers
expectations.” concludes
Phillips.
Intelliconnect is jointly funded by Roy Phillips
and his co-directors and the low-voltage lighting specialist
company
Lab Craft who
lead in the design and manufacture of lighting solutions
for commercial and recreational applications.
