A Wire Harness Trailblazer

Seen by our industry peers as a trailblazer within wire harnessing, ALTEX has been instrumental in the adoption of the IPC/WHMA A-620 industry standard for cable and wire harness fabrication. Currently, organizations in 42 countries are IPC/WHMA A-620B certified. This universally recognized workmanship standard opens the doors for ease of communication between OEMs and manufacturers in regards to build specifications. It’s a true differentiator. Being such a large part of the adoption of this universal standard has been a shining moment for ALTEX.
As our team embarks on our 35th year living the ALTEX difference, we look forward to our future growth and continuing to provide custom manufacturing solutions for our customers, from Fortune 500 companies to privately held OEMs in various industries including rail, power generation, refrigeration controls, automotive, agricultural, and conversion to name a few.
