USA - Switchcraft Inc, the leading US manufacturer of connectors and cable assemblies, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Started in 1946 by three former GIs fresh from their radio experience in WWII, Switchcraft was an early leader in the development of high quality components for the electronics industry and continues to develop and expand its diversified product line today.

Switchcraft offers interconnect solutions in many industries including audio, medical, broadcast, process control, harsh environment, transportation and others. Products include a wide variety of connectors, jacks and plugs, moulded cable assemblies, jackpanels and patchbays, and switches. To further enhance its role in the harsh environment industry, Switchcraft acquired the Conxall Corporation in 1999. Conxall provides both standard and custom solutions for environmentally sealed connector and cable interconnects. These connectors have become the standard in industries such as process control, GPS and instrumentation.

To keep up with the ever-changing demands for product solutions, Switchcraft has made a large commitment in vertically integrating its 24,000sq.m facility in Chicago. Core sub-components are stamped and formed, moulded, plated, and assembled using the latest techniques in automated assembly. This helps keep products cost effective and ensures that the company maintains the high level of quality first envisioned by its founders, the company says.

A complete distribution network that spans the globe makes sure Switchcraft products can be found throughout the world. After 60 years, Switchcraft is proud of its history as a premier US manufacturing company.
