Are the automotive offerings customizable? Mention any challenging customization experience the company dealt with, if any.
Yes, our connection systems can be easily customized to suit customer’s unique requirements.

In terms of challenges, the biggest would be meeting the relevant validation. Every system we supply must be tested and approved prior to release. HUBER+SUHNER strive to offer the safest, reliable products on the market, and our process of testing is stringent for this reason.
