Nicomatic, the French company recognized for the design and
manufacture of miniature, rugged connector systems, and
Amphenol Socapex, the world-renowned manufacturer of
rugged interconnection solutions have signed a dual-sourcing
agreement, whereby Amphenol Socapex will sell Nicomatic’s
modular, 1.27mm pitch rectangular EMM connector family
under the brand MICRO HDAS. This will benefit customers in hi-
rel industries who require a dual source for this innovative
connector.
Under the global agreement, a selection of Nicomatic’s EMM
series connectors will be integrated into the Amphenol Socapex
portfolio. Both companies will use their respective channels
and customers to address new markets with the high
performance connector, and each company will deploy its own
strategy and use its own networks to respond to satisfy the
demands of its customers, regardless of the geographic area
targeted.
Comments Olivier Nicollin, CEO of Nicomatic: “We approached
this partnership in the spirit of co-operation. We are looking to
accelerate the adoption of a connector that we are proud of,
but above all, we are convinced that this agreement offers
added value to our customers. Our partners have trusted us for
a long time because our connectivity meets their requirements.
We are committed on a daily basis to developing an ecosystem
in which our customers are central, thanks to the strong links
we create and develop with our employees and also with our
suppliers, or in this case, even with our ‘competitors’. This
philosophy guides the commitments we make, and this initiative
with Amphenol Socapex is a perfect example of where we choose to
work together to better serve our customers.”
Adds Michel Albrieux, Managing Director of Amphenol Socapex:
“The 1.27 mm pitch miniature rectangular connectors are an
obvious complement to our wide range of PCB connectors. We know
that our customers require not only wanted a technology solution,
but also a need a second source in order to secure their supply
chains. It is quite natural that our two companies, who are
physically close to each other and complementary, have been able
to reach such an agreement. We are equally enthusiastic regarding
possible future joint developments for this connector technology,
which has everything needed to become the standard benchmark in
years to come.”
