Astro Findings
In today’s modern global world economy, the companies that stand more chances of surviving the fierce competition are those who can reach other countries’ markets worldwide. There are many similarities on completely different industries such as the financial services and the electronics manufacturing sector where both rely on the semiconductor’s technology for instance.
Winchester Electronics is one of those companies who managed to make more powerful their distribution channels by expanding and investing overseas. The US Connecticut based company has about 70 years experience designing and manufacturing power, pcb, waterproof and Coaxial connectors. Other fields where they are specialists include the telecommunications, wireless infrastructure, computer, industrial, test and measurement, and medical equipment sectors where they specialise in electromechanical and value-added cable assemblies.
By acquiring Kings Electronics they managed to reach new markets such as the high-end military and military aviation as well as the broadcast sector. Thanks to acquisitions, Winchester Electronics can now credibly claim to be able to solve technical interconnect problems across a wide range of applications and sectors. It’s perhaps the acquisition of Kings Electronics that has opened up the Winchester market base into exciting new sectors, especially the broadcast industry. The high definition era demands lower failure rate, bigger bandwidth and higher frequency, which is a result of the arrival of the High Definition TV and the higher degree of performance and reliability that comes along with it. Now a Winchester brand, Kings Electronics products allow the group to advance broadcast connector technology without the huge independent investment that would be required if they tried to go it alone.
Several Winchester sites are qualified to ISO 13485 while all their facilities are qualified to ISO 9001. The way they manage to make the sum of the parts greater than the value of the whole is by combining expertise and establishing the market leadership of separate companies. This approach enables electronics and electrical components manufacturers to increase their presence in the global market as well as satisfy their customers’ expectations by following standard supply management ideas that add more value through various manufacturing practices and technologies.
