Rockwell Collins has named Mini-Circuits of Brooklyn, New York, as its top supplier and President’s Award winner for 2018. The award was presented at the Rockwell Collins Supplier Conference on March 6.

“Mini-Circuits has been one of our key suppliers for more than 30 years,” said Wayne Flory, vice president of Material & Supply for Rockwell Collins. “Their strong obsolescence management plan was a major factor in why they were selected as our President’s Award recipient, as well as our Electronic Component Supplier of the Year.”
