🇩🇪 Taufkirchen, Germany
Where risk is not acceptable — specialist high-tech connector systems for the most demanding safety-critical applications in aerospace, defence, medical and space.
Founded in 1985 in Taufkirchen near Munich, Filcon Electronic GmbH has built a four-decade reputation as one of Europe's foremost specialists in high-tech connector systems for safety-critical industries. Operating under a simple principle — in aerospace, defence and medical applications, failure is not an option — Filcon combines deep technical knowledge with a commitment to quality that has earned EN 9120 aerospace and ISO 9001 certification.
Filcon supplies both standard stocked products and individually engineered or custom-manufactured connector solutions, giving customers access to precisely the right product for their application rather than a compromise off-the-shelf alternative. Its products are trusted across major aerospace, defence, industrial and space projects throughout Europe and beyond.
In 2017, Filcon further strengthened its space capability through the acquisition of Sacee International, a distributor of electronic components for space and military applications — extending its coverage across satellite, launch vehicle and ground support projects throughout Europe and beyond.
