Manufacturing electronics solutions across your entire product build
GTK delivers integrated electromechanical manufacturing through a single-source supplier model.
With in-house cable manufacturing, custom display integration and embedded control systems, we support complex electronic products from interconnects through to finished systems.
Our high level assembly manufacturing combines PCBAs, cables, displays and mechanical elements into validated sub-assemblies for box build and full system integration.
By aligning engineering, sourcing and production within one programme, we simplify supply chains, improve product reliability and support a smoother transition from development to scalable manufacture.
Custom cable assemblies and wiring harnesses designed for reliable performance in demanding environments.
From simple interconnects to complex routed looms, GTK supports prototyping through to volume production, with full consideration for durability, installation and long-term use.
Industrial display solutions tailored to application requirements, including TFT, touchscreens and fully integrated display assemblies.
GTK supports optical bonding, interface integration and environmental considerations, ensuring displays perform consistently within the end product.
Embedded boards and computing platforms configured to meet specific system requirements.
GTK supports integration with displays, connectors and enclosures, ensuring embedded hardware aligns with overall product architecture and manufacturing needs.
The integration of multiple components into complete electromechanical sub-assemblies.
Combining cable assemblies, PCB assemblies, connectors, displays and mechanical elements into a single build, GTK supports functional integration, testing and production-ready assembly to simplify installation and improve overall system reliability.
Complete enclosure assemblies incorporating internal electronics, power distribution and interconnect systems.
Building on high level assembly integration, GTK delivers fully assembled and tested units with enclosure integration, cable routing, mechanical installation and final system verification to reduce internal build complexity and support consistent production at scale.
End-to-end manufacturing of finished electronic products, ready for deployment.
From integrated sub-assemblies and enclosure build through to final configuration, testing, packaging and documentation, GTK delivers complete systems through a single-source supplier model, supporting streamlined production and simplified supply chain management.
Your single-source supplier for bespoke electronics
GTK simplifies your supply chain by combining multiple manufacturing disciplines within one coordinated programme.
Through a single-source structure, you benefit from:
- Reduced supplier complexity through one accountable manufacturing partner
- Faster time-to-market through coordinated development and integration
- Lower total cost of ownership through early DFM engagement and efficient assembly
- Consistent quality standards from cable assembly through to full electromechanical integration
We support projects from concept validation through to fully configured system-level products.
Global manufacturing that supports your products
As part of the wider Volex group, GTK leverages a global manufacturing footprint to support localisation strategies, cost control and long-term scalability.
UK-based engineering teams work alongside global production facilities, allowing products to move from development builds into volume manufacture without requalifying core processes.
Quality systems and documentation standards are aligned across sites to maintain consistency in build, traceability and supply continuity.
Where required, production can be scaled across multiple regions to strengthen resilience and support changing demand.
Engineering and design for manufacture (DFM) support
As an engineering-led organisation, GTK applies DFM principles throughout the product development.
By engaging with us early, you benefit from:
- Material and component selection aligned to cost, availability and performance
- Product architectures optimised for manufacture and assembly
- Improved reliability and compliance readiness for regulated applications
- Clear pathways from prototype through to volume production
Our teams work directly with your engineers to ensure products are designed for manufacturability, repeatability and long-term lifecycle support.
Quality, compliance and testing
Integrated manufacturing services require consistent standards across multiple disciplines. GTK applies structured quality control from component selection through to final system build.
Our approach supports:
- End-to-end traceability across materials, assemblies and finished products
- Processes aligned to industry and international quality standards
- Functional, electrical and system-level testing around your requirements
- Global quality approvals, including ISO 9001, AS9100 and UL
As part of a diversified global manufacturer with local service and support, GTK combines international scale with regional engineering collaboration.
Scalable support across industries
GTK supports OEMs operating in sectors where reliability, traceability and lifecycle control are critical.
Our manufacturing processes support both low-volume, high-mix production and higher-volume programmes requiring repeatable, validated manufacture.
Documentation control, revision management and traceability systems are applied consistently to support sector-specific compliance requirements.
For products requiring long operational lifecycles, GTK supports ongoing engineering change management and controlled production continuity.
This helps products scale within their intended markets while maintaining build consistency and configuration control.
