Speedy secure mating for novel N-types
The QN Quick Lock N connector from Huber+Suhner is a fast and secure quick lock coupling that requires only a very low mating force.
As a result, a secondary, support site at Daventry is to close.
The company hopes that voluntary redundancy schemes will mean that job losses will be minimal.
General Manager, Andrew Paulley, explains: "We see the move as an evolution of the business and essentially positive for the future, as we migrate our strategy more towards servicing our key customers at their product point of use.
By re-evaluating and streamlining our production operations plus concentrating on enhancing key skills that we have originally developed at our Bicester factories, we are ensuring that we continue to deliver optimum service to our customers on a range of innovative products, safeguarding UK jobs and the financial security of the company".
At the same time, Huber+Suhner is refocusing its Mobile Communications and Electronics (MCE) and Wired Solutions and Networks (WSN) business teams.
Paulley comments further: "The changes we have implemented will result in enhanced service for our customers in these key business sectors as we build on our core competencies in high frequency and fibre-optic technology, and the mixing and processing of polymers for special cables and cable systems".
