Fast, Reliable Assembled Connectors from new European Facility

TTI, Inc. differentiates itself by focusing on people, parts and process and is a specialty distributor of passive, interconnect, relay & switch and discrete components. The company has developed a policy in Europe of being the distributor of choice for customers and suppliers alike by introducing new product technologies from key supply partners to its customers - and by stocking broad and deep across its franchise base. TTI operates sophisticated inventory management processes which ensure that it has the ability to service changes in component demand due to fluctuating markets and supply chains. TTI has opened a new connector assembly facility at its European headquarters outside of Munich. The company aims to offer fast delivery on low volume and prototype quantities, and is also able to satisfy scheduled volume orders. TTI has a major US-based connector assembly facility already where the company assembles over 30,000 circular connectors per day achieving very high quality levels with a defect rate of less then 25ppm. Now the company has called upon over 40 years experience to mirror the US plant in Germany. Initially the Munich facility will focus on Amphenol MIL-DTL38999 Series I and III, and SJT circular connectors, offering all shell sizes, layouts types in cadmium olive drab and electroless nickel plated finishes... TTI will also be able to offer all required connector accessories including heat-shrinkable tubing, adapters, terminals, contacts and backshell parts. Comments Ros Kruger, Industry Marketing Director, Europe - Military, Aero and Space, TTI, Inc.: "Investing in state of the art tooling we have been able to refine our processing methods to reduce assembly time, which - coupled with our large piece component inventory and build to stock policy - means that we can be confident that we can achieve very fast and reliable turn around on assembled connectors. All our operators have been intensely trained by Amphenol and our expert North American team so we can ensure the highest levels of quality that people have come to expect from TTI. We are excited to be able to offer our military and aerospace customers this new service helping them to vendor reduce their supply base further." TTI Offers Radiall, Europe's Leading RF Connector Brand TTI has signed a Pan European distribution agreement with Radiall, the global leader in design, development and manufacturing of RF coaxial connectors, antennas, microwave components, fibre optic and multipin connectors. Explains John Sandy, European Director of Supplier Marketing, Connectors & Electromechanical Products, TTI, Inc: "RF is a key target market for TTI to penetrate. We have had the Radiall franchise in our group since the acquisition of the French distribution group, Mateleco, in 2008, but now we are making their products available to our entire European customer base. Radiall is an established leader supporting the most demanding applications in telecommunications, aerospace, space, defence, automotive, industrial, medical and instrumentation." Adds François-Xavier Heurtebise, European Distribution Manager at Radiall: "We are delighted to be partnering with Europe's leading distributor of interconnection products. RF components need careful design in and expertise, and we are sure that TTI's proven track record of new product introduction will mean that many more engineers across the continent will be able to benefit from our technology solutions." Sales in Transportation Sector with Signing of Delphi Connectors TTI is spearheading a major push in the automotive sector with the signing of a Pan European distribution agreement with Delphi, the leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnection systems for the transportation market. Explains Paul Green, European Industry Marketing Director Transportation, TTI, Inc: "We work very closely with many key transportation component suppliers to deliver the right technical and commercial solution and, as a result, we are experiencing strong growth especially in sectors such as commercial and off-road vehicles.
