ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has received a Class-A Enterprise Certification from the Chinese Customs and Chinese Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for its facility in Shenzhen, China. The Class-A Enterprise Certification eases government restrictions and procedures, thereby improving on-time delivery and providing shorter product lead times for customers worldwide.

Several ISO certifications are necessary for a Class-A Enterprise rating and it has taken years of dedicated efforts by our Interconnect Solutions employees in Shenzhen to earn," said Bill Taylor, president of ITT ICS.
