ARXIS has acquired Omnetics Connector Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Omnetics, a privately held company with over 40 years of experience, specializes in the design and manufacturing of micro-miniature and nano-miniature high-reliability electronic connectors and interconnection systems. This strategic move sees ARXIS integrating Omnetics' specialized expertise and product portfolio into its operations, marking a significant expansion in the high-performance interconnect sector.
Based in Minneapolis, MN, Omnetics operates a single-location plant that includes in-house automatic machining and over-molding equipment. The company is renowned for its proprietary spring-socket system (Flex-Pin), which meets stringent military specifications, including QPL status on the Mil-32139 level program for nano (0.025in pitch) connectors. Omnetics serves critical industries such as Military, Aerospace, Medical, and Instrumentation, providing both off-the-shelf (COTs) inventory and customized high-reliability miniature and nano-sized interconnects. Its product portfolio includes some of the smallest, high-reliability connectors globally.
The acquisition is strategically aimed at enhancing ARXIS's capabilities and market presence in demanding high-technology oriented OEM sectors. By bringing Omnetics' advanced connector technology and manufacturing prowess under its umbrella, ARXIS is poised to expand its offerings with highly specialized, miniaturized interconnect solutions. This integration is expected to create synergies through a broader product range, deeper technological expertise, and an expanded customer base across vital industries requiring robust and compact electronic connections.
The combination of ARXIS and Omnetics is anticipated to strengthen the combined entity's position as a leading supplier of high-reliability interconnects. The focus will remain on innovation in miniaturization and performance, ensuring continued support for customers requiring custom and standard solutions for their most challenging applications. This acquisition underscores a commitment to delivering advanced connectivity solutions to the global market.
