Vitelec Electronics Ltd., part of Emerson Connectivity Solutions, is combining its operation with Midwest Microwave International Ltd., a supplier of low loss RF cable assemblies and microwave components. The merger follows Emerson’s recent acquisition of Midwest Microwave Inc. of Saline, MI, US, and Midwest Microwave International Ltd, based in Chelmsford, Essex, UK. It is a move intended to bring significant benefits to customers both in the UK and Europe.
Supplying an extensive range of standard and custom low loss cable assemblies, together with microwave components including attenuators, power dividers, couplers, terminations, precision connectors and adaptors, Midwest’s product offering combines perfectly with Vitelec’s high quality range of RF cables and connectors. As well as the clear synergies between the product ranges, Vitelec will also be relocating to Midwest’s expanded Chelmsford facility, bringing increased capacity and development of custom solutions.
Customers of the new combined Connectivity Solutions are likely to benefit in a number of areas. Indeed, the new business will provide a wider RF product offering, all supported by a world class manufacturing and assembly facility, together with a sophisticated European warehouse and logistics operation. As a result, levels of customer service will be further enhanced while the move illustrates Emerson’s long-term commitment to the UK and European marketplace.
