Omnetics Europe opens sales headquarters in Portsmouth
Omnetics has opened a new European sales headquarters in Portsmouth, UK, to support a growing market presence and increase penetration in demanding markets such as military/aerospace, medical, petrochemical, telecoms, instrumentation and other sectors that require highly rugged and reliable, yet miniature and innovative connectors.
Heading the new operation is Gary Evans, the recently appointed European Sales Manager, who brings a wealth of experience to this position. He states: "Omnetics will be a new name to many European designers, but the company has over 20 years experience in producing interconnect solutions for prestigious applications such as NASA's Phoenix Scout Mission and the B2 Stealth Bomber." As an example of the company's capabilities, in 2004 the company introduced the Bi-Lobe range, described as the world's first Nano connector design to meet and exceed the demands of Mil Spec 32139. According to Omnetics, this has subsequently become recognised as an industry-standard product
Omnetics has a range of European partner distributors. In the UK, the company has recently appointed ISO 9001:2000 approved Genalog as a franchised distributor. Evans says: "Genalog is very well established in the UK market with a strong a loyal customer base. They have a broad portfolio of connector and cable lines, and have invested to provide value-added assembly services, which will be very interesting for users of our products. More, as a specialist interconnect distributor Genalog offers exceptional service and delivers on short lead times."
Paul Bennett, Genalog's External Sales Manager, comments: "It is excellent to see Omnetics developing its European business with the opening of the new European Sales Office. Omnetics connectors have an enviable reputation for quality and reliability and are a natural fit for the military, medical and industrial markets that we cover."
