SANWA Denki Kogyo, Co., Ltd. of Japan revealed that it has combined SANWA Electronics USA Corp. and Fiberon Technologies Inc., which it acquired last year, to create SANWA Technologies, Inc. The new company will serve as SANWA’s global sales organization under newly elected president Mark Johnson.
SANWA Technologies will have multiple offices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific. It offers several lines of fiber-optic connectivity products.
"Since our acquisition of FIBERON in March 2021, we have significantly accelerated our growth, with the two independent subsidiaries continuing to deliver quality products, excellent service, and speed as a trusted supply partner to its customers," commented Yasuo Ishii, president and CEO of SANWA. "By combining the two operations as SANWA turns 75 years old this year, we are able to provide our customers and partners with a stronger, seamless sales and customer support organization through SANWA's unparalleled engineering, manufacturing, and quality management for the worldwide optical communications industry."
"Leveraging both companies' extensive combined knowledge, expertise, and long track records in optical connectivity and assembly solutions allows SANWA to take full advantage of our geographical coverage and extensive resources – for the benefit of our customers worldwide,” added Johnson, previously president of Fiberon. "We are very excited to bring these two very successful teams together to build an even stronger organization with such vast potential in the fast-expanding fiber-optic market."
