R&D facility opened for aerospace and defence electronics

TT Electronics, a global provider of custom power solutions and engineered technologies, has announced that its Power and Control business has opened a state-of-the-art research, development and manufacturing facility.

The new site in Rochdale, Manchester, UK, is a strategic investment by TT Electronics in power electronics for mission-critical aerospace and defence technologies.

Matt Yeates, vice president and general manager at TT Electronics said: “TT’s recent acquisitions of the Power Supply business from Excelitas, Torotel and Ferranti Power and Control have enhanced our customer portfolio as well as significantly strengthening our engineering capability in both the UK and US. The new facility will not only support new employment opportunities in the Rochdale/Manchester area but will provide increased manufacturing capacity as a direct response to our customers’ needs.”

The opening of the new site aligns with TT’s aim to continuously invest in its global facilities and offer greater supply chain leverage and engineering capabilities to its customers. The facility is now fully operational and will provide a significant increase in capacity for customers in the UK for power electronics and mission-critical aerospace and defence sectors.

TT invests in R&D to create designed-in products where reliability is mission critical. Products designed and manufactured include sensors, power management and connectivity solutions. TT has design and manufacturing facilities in the UK, North America, Sweden, and Asia.
