Ardent Concepts has Been Acquired by Amphenol

Dear Valued Customers,

I am excited to announce Ardent Concepts, Inc. has been acquired by Amphenol ICC (AICC), a division of Amphenol, and a world leading provider of interconnect solutions for the Information, Communications and Commercial electronics markets.

This investment by Amphenol ICC will allow Ardent, now Amphenol Ardent Concepts (AAC), to utilize AICC’s global reach and resources, accelerate the adoption of Ardent’s industry-leading products worldwide, and provide a strong foundation for continually developing the most electrically efficient connectors for our core markets.

Amphenol Ardent Concepts will continue to be led by its existing management team and will be aligned under Amphenol ICC’s Mezzanine Products Business. The same familiar and dedicated faces that you’ve worked with in the past will continue to support your application needs.

This is an exciting time for Amphenol Ardent Concepts, as 2018 marks our 15^th anniversary. Our growth over this time has been exciting and tremendous and I look forward utilizing Amphenol ICC’s investment to take our company to the next level.

Sincerely,

Gordon A. Vinther

General Manager
