(Posted on 05/01/21)

Charcroft Electronics Ltd. - a specialist distributor and manufacturer of electronic components - has acquired ICW, including ClarityCap audio capacitors, from BorgWarner Wrexham. The full range of metallised plastic film capacitors will continue to be manufactured in Wrexham, Wales.

The ClarityCap capacitors will expand Charcroft’s existing range of UK-manufactured components for the high-end audio market which includes silver mica capacitors and precision resistors.

“The acquisition of ICW and ClarityCap will enable Charcroft to deliver field-based technical support for customers who are looking to achieve high levels of quality,” comments Debbie Rowland, Director, Charcroft. “The ICW capacitors have been used in audio, industrial and military applications for over 30 years and Charcroft has been a franchised distributor for the same period. The focus will also be to ensure that the capacitors will continue to be ‘Made in Britain’.”
