Our Interconnect business specialises in highly-engineered products which meet demanding customer specifications in aerospace, defence, transportation, automation and now, increasingly, in telecoms infrastructure. Our involvement in the interconnect sector has been built up through a series of acquisitions, all of which are a natural fit with existing businesses. One of the companies acquired during this half-year was Sabritec which manufactures co-axial connectors, and the multi-pin filter connectors pictured below. These complement our highly successful Hypertac connectors made in Europe, and the two businesses are working together closely on products for the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, which is about to enter full production.
