Tekdata Interconnections has entered into a sales agreement with IGG Component Technology, under which IGG will promote Tekdata's Cryoconnect cable assemblies to its global space industry customer base.

IGG provides high-reliability electronic, electrical and electromechanical (EEE) components and related services to the space, aerospace and defence industries.

The company's main areas of expertise are testing, evaluation, parts procurement, long-term storage, engineering consultancy, and obsolescence management and mitigation.

The company has carried out numerous projects for the European Space Agency and is a tier-one supplier to Rolls-Royce.

Tekdata Managing Director Ernie Edwards, said: 'IGG has an established reputation for quality and service in the space industry and there is a natural synergy between the two companies'.

'By joining forces, we can increase the penetration of Cryoconnect by providing highly reliable solutions for every cryogenic cabling need, from high volumes to a complex one-off assembly'.

IGG Managing Director Peter Higgs added: 'This is a win-win situation for both companies and, more importantly, for our customers'.

'Cryoconnect is an excellent product range with a proven track record, and we are delighted to be working with Tekdata to promote it around the world'.
