Flextronic, the UK’s largest manufacturer of high technology flexible circuits and subassemblies, has announced that it has changed its name to Teknoflex. The new name, which is effective immediately, is part of a strategy to relaunch the company following its expansion into high volume roll-to-roll circuit manufacture and extended assembly capability. According to Brian Shorrock, Managing Director of Teknoflex: “This extended capability, together with flex circuit, flex rigid multilayer, Regal flex and Sculptured circuit technologies, further differentiates the company in its global markets.

Our new name and its tag line, Interconnect Solutions, portrays our desire to strengthen our international bonding and promote our total design to test capability”.

Shorrock continued: “We are moving forward in a number of major industry sectors influencing and benefiting from the significant growth in the application of flexible circuit technologies in automotive, cellular phone and many other areas”.

Teknoflex exports a significant proportion of its product to blue chip customers in Europe, the USA and the Far East.

This name change has the added benefit of eliminating the confusion which has arisen due to the global expansion of the major contract manufacturer Flextronics International.

Established in Chichester, West Sussex, England, in the mid 1950s Teknoflex holds ISO 9001, BSEN 123000, MIL SPEC and UL approvals and is currently seeking QS 9000 approval.
