Amphenol Auxel Ftg

What Amphenol Auxel Ftg does

Amphenol Auxel FTG (legal name AUXEL FTG, operating as Amphenol AUXEL) is a French-headquartered designer and manufacturer of electrical interconnection and power distribution solutions, founded in 1986 in Gondecourt, France, and operating since July 2016 as a division of Amphenol Corporation's Global Interconnect Systems Group (AGIS). The company's product portfolio is organized into four core lines: AUXEL Laminated Busbars (low-inductive, high-voltage, high-temperature, shielded, sensor-integrated, stack, datacom and high-power busbars for power conversion); AUXEL Plug & Connect (power connectors using RADSOK hyperbolic-cage technology, PowerLug terminations, custom power terminals, shunts, rack systems, and I/O cable assemblies); AUXEL Optima (production-optimized systems including OLST copper-on-aluminum cold-spray surface treatment, flexible busbars, powder coating, resin encapsulation, PCB busbars, die-cast solutions, and bus work); and AUXEL Power Distribution (low-voltage distribution blocks, earthing terminals, AUXICLIC flexible systems, and custom interconnects). The portfolio rests on proprietary process technologies such as OLST (up to 58% weight savings vs. copper bars), VILB (varnished insulated laminated busbars rated to 200°C), and low-inductive bonding processes, with engineering services (AFA, thermal, inductance, and reliability studies) layered on top.

The company serves original equipment manufacturers and panel builders across ten primary verticals: industrial (drives, MCCs, UPS, BESS), transportation (rail traction, marine, EV, avionics), renewable energy (wind/solar inverters, combiner boxes), critical power (UPS, protection cabinets), medical imaging (MRI, X-ray power converters), telecommunications, smart grid (VSC, HVDC, storage), IT/datacom (OCP-compliant busbars, PDUs), electric vehicles (BMS, lithium-ion), and power electronics (SiC switching, traction converters). Go-to-market combines a direct specialized sales team and a worldwide distributor and agent network, supported by multilingual customer service teams co-located with engineering and manufacturing in Europe, India, and China, and reinforced by trade-show presence at PCIM, Hannover Messe, APEC, and Paris Air Show. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of both custom-engineered and standard catalog products, supplemented by engineering, logistics, and globalization services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around total cost of ownership optimization for customer-specific designs.

Operations span competence centers in Gondecourt (France, HQ), Shanghai and Nantong (China, engineering and manufacturing), Bengaluru (India, engineering and manufacturing for power electronics), El Fahs (Tunisia, manufacturing), and Endicott, NY (USA, via sister company Amphenol Interconnect Products Corporation / AIPC). R&D is anchored by long-running collaborations with French academic and industry clusters including MEDEE, L2EP, LSEE, and LAMIH (CNRS UMR 8201), and includes participation in EU-funded programs such as CleanSky2 for aerospace HVDC busbars with Safran's Zodiac Aero Electric. Auxel FTG has 251–500 employees and is wholly owned by Amphenol Corporation; its standalone financials are not separately disclosed.
