New Amphenol RF Facility Showcases its Advanced Manufacturing Competencies 


DANBURY, Conn., Dec. 22  /PRNewswire/ -- Amphenol RF, the world-leader in radio
frequency interconnect products, announced the relocation of its headquarters to
a new facility in Danbury, CT on December 15th, 2003. As the market leader
providing the highest quality RF interconnect products worldwide, the company's
new location is strategically designed to continue offering exceptional customer
focus while showcasing its core manufacturing competencies.

Founded in 1919, Amphenol RF began its 84-year history in Danbury, Connecticut
and continues the tradition with its latest location which complements Amphenol
RF's other global facilities. The new Amphenol RF location features a modern
design with an easy to navigate layout that gives an open look and feel with a
view into the manufacturing work area from the entrance of the building.

"The layout begins with the entire front-end of the business including
marketing, engineering, customer service, and material planning, regionalized in
teams to offer quick responses both externally and internally," said Dick
Nimons, Director of Operations.  "The purchasing, business development, and
finance areas are strategically located adjacent to the front-end, creating a
complete support structure.  The entire configuration enhances better customer
focus for all of Amphenol RF."

The new layout was also designed to promote Amphenol RF's manufacturing
expertise and demonstrate the company's commitment to manufacturing competency
in the US. In addition, the structure serves as a model for the achievement of
smaller lot manufacturing.

"The manufacturing footprint was planned around Amphenol RF's strategic
initiative to achieve smaller lot sizes with the focus on CNC turning machines,"
said Wes Owen, Director of Manufacturing at Amphenol RF.

The new headquarters is located at 4 Old Newtown Road, Danbury, Connecticut,
just off of Exit 8 of Interstate 84.
