Harwin announced the acquisition of KEC, an EMC interconnect backshell specialist.

KEC has a reputation for creating exceptionally rugged interconnect technologies for the aerospace, defense, and high-end industrial sectors.

Like Harwin, it is UK-headquartered and has a long-standing commitment to quality: certified to ISO9001 and EN9100, with this commitment backed by decades of stable management and continuous innovation.

The company’s products sit alongside Harwin’s HRi connectors in a huge number of systems: with circular and D-type EMC backshells, glands, and panel fittings, as well as bespoke solutions that conform to the most exacting standards.
