Zollner Elektronik AG, a leading global electronics manufacturing & engineering services (EMS) company, and its USA division Zollner Electronics Inc. have announced that its Milpitas, CA-based manufacturing & NPI center was notified by the United States Department of State’s Office of Defense Trade Controls & Compliance (CRD) approving the Milpitas facility for ITAR-related manufacturing & development programs.
ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) is a series of US Government regulations controlling the manufacture and export of defense-related articles or technologies.
“Broadening our support to fulfill our customers’ needs is the charter of our US operations. We are pleased with the addition of the ITAR certification to support the design and manufacture of defense and security sensitive technologies in Milpitas,” commented John Burke, COO & General Manager.
“The Board of Management and I are very pleased with obtaining approval for the ITAR certification,” said Markus Aschenbrenner, CEO. “We continue to grow and expand our service offerings in the USA, proving our methods to be successful and the benefits this facility has to offer our customers.”
Zollner’s Milpitas Manufacturing & NPI Center is designed to better serve customers throughout North America and complement Zollner’s European and Asian production facilities. In addition to NPI services, the expanded low- to medium-volume production capabilities to support regional and domestic requirements broadens Zollner’s portfolio of services and capabilities supporting original equipment manufacturers (OEM) based throughout North America.
