The short answer is that, Shenzhen Connection Electronic Co., Ltd. (CNNT) is a manufacturer and supplier of over 200 internationally approved electrical and electronic components used in automation applications such as industrial computers and controllers, machinery, manufacturing and processing systems and plant control. The unique value that we provide for our customers is our focus on e-commerce, which saves customers' time and money when specifying and purchasing high quality products and services we provide.

The more complete answer is, Shenzhen Connection Electronic Co., Ltd (CNNT) is a Shenzhen, China based company, started in 1998 by a team of individuals with extensive experience in the distribution, engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing of electrical and electronic components. The management team at CNNT gained experience by working for companies, such as DINKLE Include and Phoenix Contact, and numerous custom machine builders along with system integrators. During their time with these companies, our engineers had the opportunity to learn about the products supplied by many of our competitors. This hands-on user experience has provided CNNT and our customers with invaluable support as we now provide products to address many of the downfalls of similar products.

The sales and marketing team having the opportunity to learn from many customers while working for companies such as Phoenix Contact just was what were their needs which were not being met and what were the complaints. For example, many customers just could not understand why you had to call the factory or a distributor to find out a price or delivery information. Customers were constantly asking for a price list so that they could do their job quickly and efficiently.

Driven by the experience gained at these companies and the feedback from the market, CNNT was formed in February of 1998. Our mission was to launch a company that continually looked for ways to make it easy for our customers to do business with us as a supplier. Our first initiative was to make sure that we provided trouble free high quality products and services. We have partnered with some of the leading manufacturers in Europe and CNNT provides these high quality products at competitive prices. In addition, we established an engineering and manufacturing operation that utilizes the previous experience gained in the market and today we offer UL approved products and custom designed products such as interface modules made right here in Carlisle and Pennsylvania.

Many of the suppliers that we have partnered with are leaders in their respective markets and most have been in business from 20 to over 50 years. The result is that we at CNNT can draw upon the resources of major corporations to insure that we have the products, the quality and the needs of our customers addressed now and in the future. We are happy to let you know that we have done business with over 3,000 customers internationally including companies such as ABB, Westinghouse, General Electric, Tyco International, Siemens, General Motors and Intel. We have the capability to provide standard off the shelf products or work directly with customers on the customer design of terminal blocks, power supplies, interface modules and sensors.

Finally, we realized that when we started our business, the market was changing in many ways and indeed many customers were faced with global competition, falling prices, reduced work staff and increased market pressure. Where there were once 10 engineers, there are now 2. The same can be said of CNNT agents and buyers. Competition in many markets has increased and customers have been forced to find ways to reduce costs. CNNT has addressed these issues by partnering with very competitive suppliers, by keeping our overhead and costs as low as possible and by launching one of the most comprehensive e-commerce websites in our industry.
