Reinforcing supply-chain resilience

13 January 2026

FRANCHISED DISTRIBUTOR and stockist of electrical connectors and accessories, Lane Electronics, is reinforcing supply-chain resilience for customers across aerospace, defence, medical, industrial, and other high-reliability sectors.

Against a backdrop of geopolitical instability, global conflict, tariffs, and the growing impact of environmental change, Lane Electronics delivers exceptional service and reliability by combining extensive stockholding, in-house assembly, and value-added engineering expertise. A key member of the privately owned Lodge Group, Lane Electronics provides customers with seamless access to one of the industry’s most comprehensive interconnection portfolios, while sister company and connector manufacturer Weald Electronics adds UK-based design, assembly, and manufacturing capabilities that ensure continuity of supply and technical excellence as one of Lane Electronics’ key supply partners.

“In today’s uncertain global landscape, component availability and agility are paramount,” said Nick Wheeler, sales director of Lane Electronics. “Our focus on supply-chain resilience, supported by strategic stock management and in-house assembly, allows us to respond rapidly to customer needs while maintaining exceptional quality and performance standards through our industry-leading suppliers.”

Lane Electronics offers an extensive stockholding of connectors, accessories, and component piece-parts, supported by automated and strategic replenishment systems. Stock can be ring-fenced to meet specific customer or project requirements, helping OEMs and system integrators mitigate the risks of extended lead times, rapidly escalating prices or obsolescence.

The company’s in-house assembly services further enhance availability, with more than 90% of standard product ranges available for next-day shipment through stock or rapid assembly. As a specialist assembling distributor for leading connector manufacturers, Lane Electronics delivers tailored interconnect solutions across industries including aerospace, defence, mining, test and measurement, medical equipment, entertainment systems, and general industrial applications.

Complementing these capabilities, the company’s partnership with Weald Electronics provides accredited UK-made optical and RF cable assemblies and other value-added solutions, ensuring customers benefit from certified, high-performance interconnect products built to meet exact specifications.
