I am pleased to welcome the talented Kries team to TE,” said Bart Otten, senior vice president, and general manager of TE’s energy business unit. “Adding Kries to our portfolio enhances the value we bring to our customers as one connectivity partner. This acquisition is a critical milestone in our strategic vision to be a partner of choice for innovating sustainable energy networks that keep the power on.”
