Phoenix Dynamics’ expertise includes customer support through concept design, prototyping, testing and quality assurance as well as consulting services to improve performance of existing solutions.
“Phoenix Dynamics is a highly valuable addition to HUBER+SUHNER,” says Urs Ryffel, CEO of HUBER+SUHNER. “Their strategic focus on complete solutions in our aerospace and defense growth markets will enable us, after integration, to offer existing customers in this subsegment end-to-end solutions based on all connectivity technologies.”
