Already this has led to a 42% increase in new customers, mainly in the defence, medical and industrial sectors.
Comments Gary Evans, European Sales Manager: "In Europe, sales for our 0.025in/0.635mm pitch nanominiature Bi-lobe and microminiature 0.050in/1.27mm pitch microminiature connectors are up by 40%".

"We are taking an increased market share in North America, and in Asia - a relatively new target for Omnetics - the market is opening up strongly, and we have identified a huge number of design opportunities".

Omnetics has doubled its engineering headcount in order to drive its new product introduction plans which are focused around its brand-leading nanominiature Bi-lobe series.

Already this year the company has introduced hermetically sealed and high temperature Bi-lobe products targeting the petrochem, space and UAV sectors, is launching a series of circular nano connectors and has received QPL approval for its single- and dual-row Bi-Lobes.

Four further significant product family introductions are planned in the next quarter.

Concludes Evans: "Omnetics will always continue to innovate by listening to what the market and our customers are saying".
"We are flexible and responsive and relish technical challenges".
