German connector manufacturer FCT has set up its first direct
sales operation in the UK.
The office will provide local sales and technical support to the
supplier’s distribution network of Quadrant, Aerco and Foremost
Electronics.
The Hertfordshire-based office will also be part of a programme
to establish closer links with major UK customers.
“My prime task is to explore the many opportunities that exist
for FCT products in the UK and increase our market share,” said
Tony Monaghan, FCT’s newly appointed UK sales manager.
Munich-based FCT is a specialist supplier of D-type connectors
to the medical, military, telecommunications, aerospace,
instrumentation, broadcast and industrial markets.
Annual turnover is €43m.
Its product range includes D-type connectors with power and
coaxial contacts in standard, mixed layout and high density
formats.
FCT
also manufactures multi-wire, coaxial, and over-moulded cable
assemblies in a plant in the Czech Republic.
Tony Monaghan worked for 14 years as account manager at Quadrant
prior to joining FCT.
