PRODUCTS 55 Lynx product line launches with connectorized Microwave components with Europe in mind, but they will also serve as a backup for US products, especially in light of export restrictions imposed on US sourced components. The cost of developing and manufacturing Lynx products will be split by the three companies, all of which have a wealth of technical expertise. Inventories will also be shared across the respective territories of each company, as the group has already done for over the last ten years for common lines carried between. Consequently, Lynx will not carry an overhead of a holding company and excessive bureaucracy, but will be based on trust and an understanding on how the EU works, according to the trio. Service with quality and cost in mind Additional services to the customer such as technical expertise and manufacturing know-how will be the key beneﬁts of Lynx rather than plain vanilla distribution. Lynx will be ideally suited to suppliers looking to get a share of the European market or those that require product stock in Europe. A further advantage will be the ability to drive costs down as the complexities of sourcing and inventory from overseas are eliminated. All products will adhere to European regulations. In essence, many US companies already do this for their home market, and as Europe is a single market, the Lynx partners believe that this is only a natural course to develop the business model further. All three participants will continue representing their product lines — providing technical support and expertise for other products as well as subsystem assembly. Lynx is seen as an extension to all these areas of competence. Lynx, initially with the ﬁrst series of connectorised microwave components will debut at European Microwave Week in Amsterdam at the end of October 2008. www.globes.de www.elexo.fr www.linkmicrotek.com Three product representatives that have worked in the RF and microwave market for decades have got together to provide an own brand line of products aimed at the European market. GLOBES Elektronik, based in Germany, Link Microtek Limited based in the UK and Elexo based in France have a history of cooperation with common lines, passing on requirements for clients not served by their own respective territories. With this history of trust and many years of working together, the three companies have decided to launch a product line of microwave components that they have made to their speciﬁcations and tailored speciﬁcally to the European market. Quality products for Europe The Lynx range of components will be marketed, stocked and distributed throughout Europe. Customers beneﬁt from fast delivery, exceptional cost and superior quality product as backed by the ‘Lynx Group’ partners. Products in the range will include passive microwave components such as couplers, dividers, attenuators and terminations. In addition, the Lynx group brings a wealth of technical expertise and capability in design, manufacture, support services and sourcing. Made to the group’s demanding speciﬁcations, the products will be manufactured globally from China and Korea to Europe, depending on the mix of price and local expertise required to ensure a high quality speciﬁcation. Not only will Lynx products be designed Microwave Engineering ● October 2008 ● www.mwee.com 055_MWEE.indd 55 6/10/08 18:12:02 http://www.compotron.com http://www.globes.de http://www.elexo.fr http://www.linkmicrotek.com http://www.compotron.com http://www.mwee.com
