Rapid Conn, founded over two decades ago, has transformed from a modest R&D design house specializing in cables and connectors into a prominent global provider of interconnect solutions. The company’s journey commenced in 1994 with a small sales office in Singapore. In 1995, Rapid Conn expanded by acquiring Wearnes, which provided access to a 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility and a skilled workforce of 80 employees, including experienced engineers and production staff. This acquisition was a pivotal moment in Rapid Conn’s growth and led to the establishment of Rapid Conn Inc. to cater to the mature markets in the Americas and Europe.

To meet the rising production demands, Rapid Conn undertook further expansion, culminating in the establishment of a 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China, by the end of 2006. In 2021, the company continued to diversify with a new facility in Guang Xi, China, enhancing its global presence and competitiveness.
