Frequency control products from Japanese manufacturer KDS Daishinku are now available throughout Europe from Gleichmann Ultratec as the result of a new distribution agreement between the two companies.

With a total of ten factories in Japan and South East Asia, KDS Daishinku Corp.

- which was founded in 1959 - is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of quartz, crystal resonators, crystal oscillators, monolithic crystal filters (MCF) and optical quartz products.

According to Yoshitaka Tokuda, Managing Director of KDS Europe, the decision to appoint Gleichmann Ultratec as sales partner was above all based on the experience and technical competence of Gleichmann Ultratec's employees in their handling with quartz products.

"Customer satisfaction is the first priority for KDS.

With Gleichmann Ultratec, we have a found a partner, who absolutely shares this philosophy with us".

"The co-operation with Gleichmann Ultratec puts us in a position to be able to optimally support and advise our customers right up to the circuit design level", says Tokuda.

For Hans Eggensberger, Managing Director of Gleichmann Ultratec, the co-operation with KDS Daishinku is an ideal enhancement to the existing product portfolio.

"Most of the products feature an extended temperature range from -40 to +150C as well as high vibration resistance and shock resistance".

"This therefore, allows these high quality products to be used with virtually no restrictions in various security, medical, automotive and telecommunications applications".

According to Eggensberger, an additional advantage of KDS's balanced product portfolio is the availability of various packages, which allows an exact replacement of products from other manufacturers.

"This puts us in the position of being able to react and adopt even faster and more flexibly than before to our customers' wishes and requirements".
