MTCON and Sensor-Technik Wiedemann combine expertise
MTConnectivity power2pcb (MTCON) has a new shareholder: Sensor-Technik Wiedemann (STW) has held a stake in the power element manufacturer since the end of 2019.
While MTCON contributes development and product know-how in the field of connectors and power elements to the cooperation, STW provides expertise in manufacturing technology. By combining their core competencies, the two companies aim to develop, manufacture and distribute high-performance PCB components and assemblies for mobile machinery faster, more efficiently and more cost-effectively.
MTCON brings the portfolio of power elements and connectors to the cooperation, combined with experience in press-fit technology, plastic injection molding and connection technology as well as in the design and development of high-performance connectors and PCBs. STW has a long track record in the manufacture and development of electronic assemblies for mobile machinery. MTCON has added the complete family of STW connectors to its portfolio and sells them worldwide to international customers in these markets.
"We have been working successfully with MTCON for several years," says Wolfgang Dengler, COO of STW. Mario Tolj, Managing Director of MTCON, says: "We are delighted to once again expand our international product portfolio with the complete connector family from STW. In addition to our relay and fuse sockets and press-fit connectors, customers can now also obtain innovative board-to-wire connectors and next-generation 2nd Gen products from us."
