Samtec’s corporate headquarters, in New Albany, Indiana, in the heart of Silicon Prairie, underwent a major expansion in 2017. This included a total renovation of the lobby.

The new lobby was reimagined into a spacious, modern, two-story welcome center that reflects the innovative, leading-edge technology … [Read more...]
New Connector Search: A High-Speed Mated Set In Seconds

Bishop Customer Service Survey: Samtec Ranked #1 For 18th Time

Of course, it’s debatable, but many consider it to be Jalen Suggs’ long shot with time expiring in OT to lift Gonzaga over UCLA in the semifinals of the 2021 NCAA tournament. As a volleyball coach, this is still one of my favorite plays of all time. But I’m a little biased because Kenzie, the young lady who made … [Read more...]
The Most Important Connector Blogs of 2021
