About the Company

Our client is a well-established, specialist manufacturer and supplier of high-performance interconnect solutions, including connectors, adaptors and bespoke cable assemblies. The business operates internationally with manufacturing facilities in the UK and the USA and supports customers across highly regulated and technically demanding sectors such as defence, marine, medical, cryogenic and advanced industrial markets.

The company is known for its engineering-led approach, working closely with customers to deliver tailored, design-in solutions rather than off-the-shelf products. With a strong reputation for quality, reliability and on-time delivery, it supplies a mix of major international OEMs as well as smaller, high-growth technology businesses. The organisation is well structured, commercially focused and continues to invest in product development, people and long-term customer partnerships.
