Delphi to acquire Unwired Technology

The acquisition of Unwired follows the recently announced agreement to acquire Antaya Technologies Corp, a supplier of proprietary on-glass connectors. The two acquisitions enhance Delphi’s product offerings in the growing automotive electrical connectors business. “Media connectivity is a high-growth segment as auto manufacturers respond quickly to consumers’ increasing desire to integrate their smartphones and tablets in their vehicles,” said Rodney O’Neal, Delphi chief executive officer and president. “Unwired’s products strengthen our overall electrical architecture and electrical connector offerings, which is supporting increased electronics content per vehicle.” Joseph Damato, chief executive officer and president of Unwired, stated, "We are excited to have reached this agreement with Delphi. Combining our highly-complementary media connectivity portfolios will strengthen our growth opportunities and global reach. By leveraging Unwired’s and Delphi’s common commitment to innovation, engineering and product development, we will continue to provide the market with the highest quality media connectivity products."
