About CTI Electronics
CTI Electronics Corporation. is a privately held Connecticut Corporation, founded in 1986 by CTI Industries Inc., Exendis B.V. (a publicly traded company in the Netherlands), and Peter J. Mikan, the inventor of the original "Industrial Mouse ™". CTI's focus is on being the premier supplier of operator input devices for the industrial, medical, military, off-road and aerospace markets. These operator input devices include a complete family of industrial joysticks, industrial mouse pointers and industrial keyboards; all which are designed to be the most reliable and durable in that market place.
CTI sells globally, and distributes in Europe, as well as has a number of VAR's (value added resellers) in Canada and South America. Design, manufacturing of core sensors, final assembly, testing and customer support are all performed at the Stratford CT facility.
CTI's core competency is designing and manufacturing key sensor technology required for operator input devices. By not relying on outside suppliers for these sensors, CTI can be sure that the sensors will meet all the environmental, reliability and long term durability that is required for industrial applications. In addition, this assures CTI's customers that the sensors are both readily available and cannot be made obsolete, or that critical specifications or manufacturing processes do not change. Not only does CTI guarantee reliability and durability, CTI guarantees long-term availability and support. To this end, CTI has access to more than sixteen patents, either issued or pending.
