In Defence, new technologies dominate headlines. But program directors face a different challenge: finding industrial partners who can deliver consistently, securely, and at scale for the next 20 years.

That's the conversation Connect Group is bringing to BEDEX.

Connect Group operates 11 locations and 8 production sites across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, combining European manufacturing standards with global capabilities.

Our AS9100D-certified Defence Hub in Ieper, Belgium is strategic infrastructure designed to de-risk complex programs through advanced coating technologies, complete traceability, and secure facilities for sensitive programs.

We support Defence programs across the complete spectrum:

• PCBA Assembly: High-reliability manufacturing for demanding environments.
• Cable & Wire Systems: Military-grade harnesses and fiber optic interconnects.
• Mechatronics Integration: Deployment-ready systems for radar, avionics, and control applications.

Our proven track record includes sub-modules for radar systems, UAV sensor systems, missile control units, tactical communications, aerospace instrumentation, and rugged power supplies for harsh environments.

Connect Group has contributed to European space missions including the Ariane 6 launch and the Sentinel-1D Earth observation satellite.

Defence programs demand commitment beyond initial delivery. Connect Group delivers tailored lifecycle services to ensure program continuity:

• 24/7 component availability monitoring and proactive obsolescence management.
• ISO 27001-certified information security with controlled access for classified programs.
• Long-term storage, spare parts management, and technology refresh programs.

From prototype to decades of serial production, we remain your trusted partner for mission-critical programs where failure is not an option.

If you're navigating supply chain decisions for long-term Defence programmes, let's connect.
