Microwave acquisition cooks up merger

Vitelec Electronics is to combine its operation with Chelmsford-based Midwest Microwave International, a leading supplier of low-loss RF cable assemblies and microwave components

Vitelec Electronics, part of Emerson Connectivity Solutions, is to combine its operation with Chelmsford-based Midwest Microwave International, a leading supplier of low-loss RF cable assemblies and microwave components. Due for completion during Q4 of 2006, the merger follows Emerson's recent acquisition of Midwest Microwave of Saline, Michigan, USA and Midwest Microwave International based in Chelmsford, Essex, UK, a move that will 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 adapters, 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 will 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.

Plans for combining the two current operations are in a very advanced stage and the integration is expected to be completed during the last calendar quarter of 2006.

During this time, customers will be informed of progress and should continue to use Vitelec's Dudley facility until advised otherwise.
