Its products comply with industry standards such as MIL-SPEC, AS9100, and ISO certifications and are produced across seven global facilities, including six in the United States and one in Canada. The AirBorn portfolio will also serve as the foundation for Molex’s new Aerospace & Defence division.

“Building on our decades-long collaboration with Molex, the addition of AirBorn aligns perfectly with our focus on aerospace and defence markets, where reliability and performance are essential,” said Aiden Mitchell, Global Senior Vice President, Supplier and Product Management at Arrow Electronics. “AirBorn has a proven track record in delivering innovative and specialised solutions, and we are pleased to make these products available to our customers worldwide.”
