Heilind Electronics, one of the world’s largest distributors of interconnect products, has acquired MPS Group, a leading distributor of electronic components and manufacturer of cable assemblies for the European Mil-Aero Marketplace.

“We are very pleased to be expanding Heilind’s operations into Germany, Europe’s largest economy, and welcome the dedicated employees of MPS group into the Heilind family,” said Martin Kent, President, European and Asia Pacific Operations for Heilind.  “MPS group brings over 35 years of distribution experience to Heilind and more than 25 years of expertise in wiring and cabling systems assembly.”

The privately held MPS Group comprises three companies: MPS-T (Terminal) serving the industrial marketplace, MPS-E (Electronic) serving the Mil-Aero marketplace, and MPS-K (cable) a contract cable assembler also serving the Mil-Aero marketplace. It is headquartered in Feldkirchen-Westerham, Germany, just outside of Munich.
