What Tech-Inter does

Tech-Inter is a privately-held European distributor and reseller of RF and microwave components, subassemblies, and related test solutions, founded around 1996 and headquartered in Thoiry, France with a regional sales office in Donauwörth, Germany. The company maintains legal entities in France (TECH-INTER SAS) and Germany (TECH-INTER GmbH), plus a wholly-owned R&D subsidiary (Techinterlab). Its catalog spans more than 50 product categories covering the DC to 500 GHz frequency range, including RF/microwave components (amplifiers, mixers, attenuators, filters, oscillators, switches, couplers, power dividers), coaxial connectors and adapters, waveguide components and antennas, substrates and PCB prototyping equipment, electromagnetic simulation software, test and measurement instruments, thermal testing platforms, and obsolescence-replacement services. Tech-Inter aggregates roughly 30 international suppliers under its own brand, with core partnerships at JyeBao (Taiwanese coaxial connectors and assemblies up to 67 GHz), Synergy (oscillators, VCOs, frequency synthesizers using REL-PRO technology), Sumitomo Electric (GaN/GaAs semiconductors), MECA, Mi-wave, Vector Telecom, and Superapex, among others.

Tech-Inter's go-to-market is enterprise field sales through a technical sales team with personalized order follow-up and custom product design services. The company serves three primary verticals — military/defense, aerospace, and commercial (telecommunications and test & measurement) — plus a secondary research-laboratory segment; named customers include IRAM and the ALMA Observatory in radio astronomy applications. Revenue mechanics are predominantly hardware sales under quote-based pricing for both catalog products and custom solutions, with no public pricing disclosure. Marketing channels include the tech-inter.eu product catalog, technical datasheets, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn), industry events (European Microwave Week 2025, National Microwave Days 2026), and a newsletter. The company holds ISO 9001/2015 certification and reports 28+ years of continuous specialization in microwave technology, with no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and a 11–50 employee headcount band.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• MACOM Technology Solutions: MACOM is a US-based manufacturer of RF, microwave, and photonic semiconductor products serving defense, aerospace, and telecom. It is a primary supplier for many of the components Tech-Inter distributes and reflects the upstream market in which Tech-Inter operates.
• Mouser Electronics: Mouser Electronics is a global authorized distributor of semiconductors and electronic components with an extensive RF/microwave linecard. It is a broader incumbent that competes with Tech-Inter for component sourcing but offers vastly wider product breadth and faster logistics.
• Digi-Key Electronics: Digi-Key is one of the largest global electronic component distributors with broad RF/microwave coverage. It competes with Tech-Inter on catalog breadth and availability, but lacks Tech-Inter's specialist RF application engineering and high-frequency bias.

Direct peers

• Radiall: Radiall is a French-headquartered manufacturer of interconnect solutions including RF coaxial connectors, antennas, and microwave components serving aerospace, defense, and telecom. Geographic and product overlap with Tech-Inter's connector and coaxial assembly business, with Radiall operating as a primary manufacturer rather than distributor.
• Pasternack: Pasternack (an Infinite Electronics brand) is a leading supplier of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components, including connectors, cables, antennas, and test equipment. Overlapping product catalog and customer base with Tech-Inter, with Pasternack operating at higher scale.
• Mini-Circuits: Mini-Circuits designs, manufactures, and distributes RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components globally. While primarily a manufacturer, it overlaps with Tech-Inter's passive/active component portfolio (filters, mixers, amplifiers, attenuators) and serves similar commercial, defense, and aerospace customers.
• RFMW: RFMW is a specialized distributor of RF and microwave components serving design engineers across telecom, aerospace, defense, and test & measurement. Highly comparable to Tech-Inter's niche distribution model with focus on application engineering and custom solutions.
• Fairview Microwave: Fairview Microwave (Infinite Electronics) manufactures and distributes RF components, adapters, cables, and test equipment. Direct overlap with Tech-Inter's coaxial connector, cable, and passive component offering, with Fairview operating at higher scale.
• Richardson RFPD: Richardson RFPD is a specialized global distributor of RF, wireless, IoT, and power conversion components. It is the closest direct peer to Tech-Inter given its focus on RF/microwave engineering customers, deep supplier relationships, and design-in support model. Both serve defense, commercial, and aerospace engineering markets.

Emerging players

• Exodus Advanced Communications: Exodus Advanced Communications is a manufacturer of RF power amplifiers and microwave components for defense and aerospace. Comparable niche focus on RF/microwave for defense/aerospace but operating as a primary manufacturer rather than distributor.
