TT Electronics Launches Power and Control R&D Facility in Rochdale

The power and control business of TT Electronics has announced the opening of its new research, development, and manufacturing facility in Rochdale, near Manchester, UK. The facility will focus on developing products for "mission-critical aerospace and defense technology," according to the company.

This move comes after TT Electronics recently acquired the Power Supply business from Excelitas, Torotel, and Ferranti Power and Control.

The opening of the new facility is expected to create new employment opportunities in the Rochdale/Manchester area while also providing increased manufacturing capacity. This expansion reflects TT Electronics' commitment to meeting the growing demand for advanced technology solutions in the aerospace and defense sectors.

The company's decision to establish the facility in Rochdale highlights the region's reputation as a hub for innovation and expertise in the aerospace and defense industries. With its proximity to Manchester, the facility will have access to a skilled workforce and a supportive business environment.

TT Electronics' investment in research and development demonstrates its dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the aerospace and defense sectors. By focusing on mission-critical applications, the company aims to provide reliable and high-performance solutions that meet the stringent requirements of these industries.
