Winchester Electronics Awarded for Supplier Services

OUTSOURCING NEWS

Winchester Electronics Corp. (Wal­lingford, CT) has been rewarded for going above and beyond its duties in helping a company relocate. Advanced Energy Inc. (AE; Fort Collins, CO) gave Winchester its Supplier Recognition Award for its work during AE's facility transfer.

AE manufactures power and control technologies. When the company moved from Stolberg, Germany, to sites in the United States and China, it called on Winchester Electronics. During the process, Winchester sent a group of employees to Germany to check cable assemblies and translate documents from German to English. It also reverse-engineered product details for future reference.

Winchester's connectors are used in the manufacture of medical equipment. Its electronic products include radio-frequency coaxial connectors, input/output connectors, power connectors, and backplane connector systems. The 65-year-old company also manufactures cable and electromechanical assemblies.

Winchester has 800 employees and runs manufacturing sites in Connecticut, Mexico, China, and Malaysia.

AE made the announcement during its annual Supplier Day. In 2006, the company also awarded Winchester for best on-time delivery.
