In the world of electronics, especially within sectors like defence, aerospace and medical, the reliability of cable assemblies is paramount.

At GTK, we understand that the integrity of every connection can be the difference between mission success and failure. This is why we place an unwavering emphasis on traceability, compliance and robust quality systems in our manufacturing processes.

Quality You Can Trace

Our quality systems are not just about meeting standards; they're about embedding a culture of excellence in every aspect of our operations. From design and prototyping, to manufacturing and final inspection, we ensure that every cable assembly is produced to the highest standards of quality.

  • Full Material Traceability: We maintain a robust supply chain, allowing us to trace each component's origin and ensure compliance with industry standards.
  • Rigorous Testing and Inspection: All our products undergo stringent testing and inspection processes, including adherence to IPC-620 standards, to ensure they meet the required specifications and performance criteria.
  • Documentation and Reporting: We provide detailed documentation and test reports for every project, offering transparency and assurance to our customers.

The Importance of Traceability and Compliance

Our commitment to traceability ensures that every component in our cable assemblies can be tracked back to its origin, providing transparency and accountability. Compliance with international standards guarantees that our products meet the stringent requirements of various industries, ensuring safety, performance, and reliability.

At GTK, our commitment to these principles is demonstrated through our approval to several globally recognised certifications:
