Molex franchise to help TTI double UK business Richard Wilson Passives specialist distributor TTI has signed a franchise with connector firm Molex covering the UK and Ireland. The deal extends existing agreements between the firms in North America and Germany. "This is another important step towards a global partnership between TTI and Molex," said Pat Frizoni, president of TTI Europe. He reckons this deal will help him double the UK business in the next 12 months. "We will also be doubling the size of the UK sales team," he added. The distributor plans to stock over 1,000 Molex lines, such as the KK series of connectors, new components for IEEE1394 and USB connectivity and the Micro-Cross and Picoflex ranges. "We will be aggressive but sensible. We are walking into the water together," said Rob Cragg, Molex's European distribution director.
